Have you ever thought about how sometimes time seems to go fast and sometimes slow? Have you ever tried manipulating time with your thoughts?

I've always thought thinking about time was fun, especially during the night, or trying to make the weekend or vacation seem longer. When I was younger 5 minutes used to seem like what now feels like an hour. Right now, I've managed to make a 6-hour stretch between 12 and 6 am seem much longer by listening to classic rock and thinking, taking in larger amounts of information to make everything seemingly take longer. If you're in school, you can do your math and finish in what feels like 40 minutes but it's actually 5. This makes skewing your perception of time a useful tool when you want to get through something or make a time you don't want to end seem much nicer and longer.

I personally have enjoyed zipping through school and finding myself at home for what feels like days but it's hours, then I go back to school, making it as if I had a longer weekend! What are your thoughts on Thought and Time Perception within this 24-hour day world we live in? Time Perception can have quite an effect on someone's personality or mood. Food for thought.

When I'm hungover the day goes by very slow. If I don't sleep through the entire thing. I've been awak since 530 and home since 7 and on the computer since 730 and it feels like I've been on here for days. The answer to your question is yes. I am hung-oooveeer.
