Complicated time.

In this life, nobody was able to get everything done smoothly as they expected. They have to struggle with many difficulties in order to solve their own problems. I think that stellar time affected my life most and others’ lives as well. For instance, my day often begins with going to work in the morning. After finishing working, I go to school until the late evening. Later, I finish my day by having dinner and preparing some things for the next day. This routine is repeated the same every day without changing. However, this schedule doesn’t work well everyday, sometimes, I was interrupted by the work and couldn’t handle works at the same time. Being a full time student and working, I was too tired to balance both working and studying together. One day, I planned ahead to finish my reading papers for my class, however, I couldn’t finish it. Since working the long time made me so tired, I just want take the rest at the end of the day. As a result, I couldn’t finish what I had planed before. Sometimes, I want to stop the time flying in order to finish all my works. Time is money, and it’s true especially when I live in New York which is always busy with the crowds outside the streets. Looking back the past, I realized the time flied so fast that I missed many opportunities to achieve some goals in my life. Playing around the Twitter, I found some people very similar with my life. They always change their lives, and some unexpected things might happen to them which they never know. For example, through this website, some people might suddenly found their friends after a long time they didn’t see each other. Or they planned to go on vacation, but finally their works turned to be busy in which they had to delay their plans. Even though we have the plans ahead, we cannot finish them as we expect. In my life, when something unanticipated happened, I was very hesitated to decide which one I should do first. A few days ago, I got a phone call from my cousin inviting me to his wedding party this week. However, I have a midterm exam and go to work at that time. I couldn’t decide whether I visit my cousin or I have to move my exam earlier and cancel my work. I think that most people also dealt with all obstacles the same time which was not easy to solve. For these above reasons, I believed that the stellar time had an impact on our lives especially when we live in this complicated society.
From the reading, I ‘m almost lost the direction in which I cannot follow what will happen next. When I click each word, it comes out many different possibilities. I think that the author wanted to attract the readers’ curiosity since the text is so chaotic that they have to follow next to read. This way is very creative and doesn’t make it boring when they read a long story. To me, when I like to click the new words which I don’t understand the meaning, it appeared the definition very detailed and its some synonyms. Through these words, it might evaluate about my personality. For instance, if I’m a curious person who always wants to know something new, I will click any new words in the text. Anyway, it’s little confusing with this new activity, I found very interesting to play with it.

  2. I agree with you that in daily life people counter obstacles where they have to fight through to it to solve the problem. This shows stellar time in someone’s life. I also agree with you that Borges wanted to take make the story’s outcome differently.

However, the life of full of them and you have to adjust accordingly to meet a next event, unexpected one, power and ability to handle it. According to many posts in Twitter, the participants faced a number of unpredicted turns of events, even though every single daily activity was planned in advance.
