  • What does it mean to be on time? Are you on time often? Why or why not?
    • Being in time means respecting other's time. It means setting up a common structure for life for multiple people. As much as I want to, I have a hard time being on time when it comes to group meetings or class, because I feel like it's a shared responsibility, and if I'm the one late, there will always be someone present there before me, so I won't leave 1 person hanging. However, if it's a one-one meeting, I will be on time.
  • Do you find yourself in conflict with standardized time?
    • Yes when it comes to social construction, like being productive in the morning. I'm very much a night person and I'm super productive at night/in the evening, meaning that if I need something while I'm productive (help for instance), no one will be available to help me, and it will cut my stream of progress. Today it seems like everything is made to accommodate morning people. It was especially hard for me in High School, as school started at 7.30am, and I could never have a good night of sleep. It's getting better now, but I'd be insanely happier if i only had class in the afternoon and class ended at 8pm.
  • Draw a time device/tool that embodies not being on time or in other words, being on your own time.
