Fun With Maps…

 

Check out my “Insomniac? Perhaps…” blog!

This blog is really just me having some fun with the Map feature in Windows Live Writer.

 

That is Collin's Hall. Location: Baylor University. That was my dorm freshman year at Baylor. Woop?

 

This is one of the campuses of the community college I attend. The building to your right is the main building. 1/2 of it got cut off, but whatevs. Basically, it holds all classes except Sciene and Theater related classes. The tope left buildings (also partially cut off) include: a bookstore, the Science Hall, and a Deli. The building on the bottom left is a Chili's. The theater building and the rest of the parking are up and to the right, but those got cut off :-/ sorry about that.

 

This is another campus of the community college I go to. Last semester, I had to travel back and forth from this one to the other in between classes. It kind of sucked.

Insomniac? Perhaps…

Oh the joy of not being able to sleep. It’s the lovely hour of 3:00 AM, and yet, I am sitting here writing this blog because I simply cannot get to sleep. Trust me, I have tried multiple times; however, I just lay in bed looking at the ceiling as time ticks away. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.  Oh the horror! Has anyone ever thought of how many hours we waste a day by sleeping? Let’s say we’re all supposed to be up and ready to leave the house at…. 7:30 AM. We’ll want to wake up at 6:00 in order to get ready( shower, dress, eat, drink coffee, relax etc.). It is recommended that Adults get around 8 hours of sleep (give or take 30 min.). You will have to go to bed at 10:00 in order to get those full 8 hours. That’s 8 hours a day…gone. 56 hours a week. 2920 hours a year. That’s the equivalent of around 122 days (121.7 to be exact). Out of the 365 days in a year, if we all followed the “8 hr. rule,” we would be asleep 122 of those days. We only truly live life 243 days every year. Crazy? You want more? Pretend you live until the age of 85. That’s 31,025 days. Out of those 31, 025 days…we are asleep 10,370.  That’s around 29 years (28.4 to be exact). If we all live to be 85 years old, in reality, we’ve missed out on 29 years and lived only 56. Crazy enough for you? I never really realized how much time we waste by sleeping. I guess, it’s not a true waste. Although scientists haven’t found a definite reason as to why we sleep, it is a clear necessity. To read more about the theories scientist’s have come up with as to why we sleep, click : Here. Well, I think I’m done for tonight. Perhaps some hot tea will make me sleepy. This insomniac bids you adieu.

The math:

8hrs of sleep per day * 7 days=56 hrs per week.
8hrs of sleep per day*365 days=2,920 hours per year.
2,920hrs/24hrs= 122 days per year.

85 years*365 days=31,025 days.
(122 days per year/ 365 days in a year) *(x days/31,025 days)= 122(31,025)=365x=10,370 days asleep.
10,370 days/365=29 years asleep.

Quote of the Day:
Life is an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.
--Carl Sandburg

From now on, I will have a “Quote of the Day” added on to the end of my blogs. You may thank the Windows Live Writer plug-in I downloaded. Ciao.

P.S. The tea didn’t work. I haven’t slept a wink, and it’s 6:07 AM. Yay?
