Involuntary Time Travel

Strawberry Fields Forever?

The rain just seems to keep pouring down. It just doesn't seem to stop.

Like the raindrops which keep racing down to earth, time seems to speed by too, and the days here seem to fly by like mere hours.

The week's already coming to an end, when feels like the week has only just barely begun.

Do time travellers have time to stop and smell the roses, or do the roses just grow old and wilt before their eyes?

Ironically, only time will tell.

To infinity, and beyond!

And did you know that I've just learnt that:

0.999... = 1


Don't believe me? Watch me work the wonders of math!

Assuming that x = 0.999...

Multiplying both sides by 10,

10x = 9.999...

Subtracting both sides by x,

10x - x = 9.999... - 0.999...
9x = 9
x = 1

Therefore...

0.999... = 1

And if 0.999... = 1, it also implies the following:

Wikipedia, wikipedia, wikipedia... = way too much time wasted.

If only I spent the time I spend on wikipedia and YouTube studying, I wouldn't have to worry about exams. Damn.
