my topic

My topic for our first essay is going to be about my mom's old, brass, annoying clock that currently sits in my parent’s front living room and how the ticking of it reminds me of wasted time. I came to this decision after sitting in the front living room and waiting for one of my family to come home so we could go to dinner, since i was starving!, and i started hearing the tick, tick, tick, of that clock and realized i, honestly, never paid any attention to that thing until i was bored or just waiting for something while i was sitting on the sofa just wasting time and not being productive.
Questions i have...questions i have... umm... i would say my question is why do i only seem to notice that clock with it is taunting ticking when i am bored or waiting for something. Also, why does it bother me so much when i hear it do that stupid ticking! So I guess I need to go and look back at all the times that I was plagued by this clock and how many times I was forced to listen to it or allowed my self to listen to it tick and me and point fun at the fact that in some way I was just wasting my time and not doing anything productive at all.
