What time is it?

I have always had a hard time with time. Let me explain... For some reason, I really never learned how to tell time. I think I missed that day in school (for Boyer that is not hard to believe). When I look at the clock I can read it, just fine. It is when people start saying, "a quarter after" or a "quarter to". I hate that! my brother had to sit down with me one day ( a few years ago) and teach me how to tell time (with a picture diagram). The problem is not the quarter after, or 15 after. The problem IS after you say a "quarter to", it does still not reveal what time IT actually is. I need to know the HOUR as well. My mom, once told me it was implied... Well if I knew the hour then I wouldn't be asking for the time!

Sorry to take out my frustrations in my blog. I think I am the only person on the planet that still can't tell time. For many of you, this is probably not the first time to hear about my issues with time...

I would like to share with you another day of school I probably missed. For some reason, I can't understand when people say "several", "few", or "couple". I remember, in 9th grade, english class, my teacher asked the class what several meant. I raised my hand, and said, "Doesn't it mean 7?" I was not trying to be 'cute', I honestly didn't learn that earlier. As many of you are thinking, the school system has failed us. No, I honestly think I either was sick that day, or playing with my pogs.

Well guys thanks for listening to my thoughts. Its a quarter after and I just wanted to share several thoughts with you!
