Opps

I completely forgot about this blog. Now I need 500 words by midnight tonight! Well General Conference is going right now as I type this. Lets see there are a total of 6 sessions, 2 on Sunday, 2 on Saturday, 1 for general Priesthood, and 1 for the Young Women. Each session is 2 hours long. That is a total of twelve hours. Seeing as it is semi-annual that is twenty-four hours a year. Each Sunday there is a three hour meeting, excluding the weeks of general conference. So the two weeks is 24 hours, plus the 50*3 hours of the other weeks. So 150 plus 24 is 174 hours a year on Sundays, and this does not include meetings before and after. Then you have an hour and a half on activity days. So 1.5 hours * 52 weeks is 78 hours. 174 plus 78 is 252 hours a year I spend in Church. *NOTE This equation does not include sick days, extended meetings, Stake Conference, and Holidays.* 252/24=10.5 days 10.5/365=2.9% of my year is Church. On average I spend eight hours sleeping. 8*356=2848 hours I spend sleeping a year. 2848/24=119 days I spend sleeping a year. 119/365=33% of my year is spent sleeping. *NOTE Once against this equation does not include days you sleep in, weekends if you change your sleeping habits etc...* So between sleeping and Church I spend a total of 35.9% of my year. That is quite a few hours. Well a year is a total of 8760 hours! That is a bunch. 525600 minutes a year. So if you spend 1 minute sleeping past your alarm you lose 365 minutes a year. That is 6.1 hours. If you live to be 90 and slept past your alarm 1 minute starting at the age 10, that is 80 years times 6.1, equals 488 days you LOSE by sleeping over 1 minute. 488 days! That is 1.34 years! That makes you want to get up one minute earlier because then you will have an extra 1.34 years in your life! Talk about living longer! Even though if you get up 1 minutes early you will probably waste it doing nothing and then instead of being less grumpy you will have more of your life wasted. I guess it is not that hard to get 500 words! Assuming you watch 2 hours of T.V. each day that is 730 hours, if you do that for eighty years that is 58400 hours in your life. That is 2433 days of your life. That is 6.7 years! Take that you lazy bums! Lets go back a little. If in the two hours there is 15 minutes of commercials an hour, which is really generous, 15*2hours = 30 minutes. .5 hours * 7 days a week equals 3.5 hours a week. 52 weeks a year times 3.5 a week equals 182 hours a year. Once again times 80 years equals 14560 hours in your life. That is 606.7 days. Which is 1.66 years of your life is taken to watch commercials! That is a very long time! It is amazing how the time adds up!

Oh man, that is a lot of math. Interesting how sleeping past one minute makes you lose 6.1 hours. How do you think of these things?!?!?

opps I made a mistake, it is not 488 days you lose but 488 hours...I forgot to divide by 24
