I sat hunched over my MacBook, iPad, and a Texas- Institute calculator. I was confidently taking a quiz for my class until I looked at the countdown clock on the page’s top right side. Suddenly pressure and stress became my dominant emotions, and I thought, why is time allowed to dictate my emotions. In terms of the project, I became less interested in the moment of taking the quiz and more intrigued by the ideas and questions that spurred out of the event. Why do we try to contain and define time? There is irony in how we evolve our lives around something that we don’t understand. Time laughs at us as we try to define and constrain it because the opposite occurs. Time is truly in control and is mocking us.
