Me today deciding that I should take the bus that brings me to a stop 300 meters from the building where I have class on the second floor four minutes before it starts…

Update: the bus was two minutes early and I made it two minutes early, but then I was late coming back from the break (4 hour class) because I thought I could make it to the library 500 meters away, return a book, and back within 15 minutes. I didn’t factor in waiting in line behind others who were returning books.

1 meter is not very far. I can take a step in 1 meter easy. 500 is not very big. I can count to 500 easy.

But then you realize that actually 500 meters is a half kilometer and you know that a kilometer isn't exactly a short distance to walk in a hurry.
