Time Project : Seasons of Love

Been busy making stock, but last week the final project for my "Designworks" group was due. The topic for the year was "time", interpreted any way we wanted. After coming up with many ideas and rejecting them I shared my frustrations with my daughter and her friend. They suggested I use the song from 'Rent' titled 'Seasons of Love'. I liked that idea, but it took a few more weeks to come up with the idea of making an altered calendar using the lyrics. These are some of the pages:

You can measure time in 'cups of coffee'

Or in measurements:'inches' or 'miles'

This was the most signifigant part to the lyrics for me. We only get 525,600 minutes every year. Only about half a million? But, do the math and that's what it is. Take off 1/3 for sleeping, more for the daily grooming (shower, hair etc), more for the daily working for money, more for the making and consuming of food, more for the daily upkeep of life (cleaning, repairs etc) and that leaves very little 'other' time. If nothing else can convince one to use that time wisely...................do the math!
