Missing time

Yesterday I was on the train, coming home from work. I looked out the window and I saw that the train was at a station which was 4 stations away from the station that I needed to get off. I looked at my watch and it was 7:20pm. So in my mind, I knew that I have about 7 minutes before the train reaches my station, and so I decided to take out a book from my bag to read. After I read only one paragraph from the book, I noticed that the scenery outside looked familiar, and I realised that the train was about to arrive at my station. I looked at my watch and it was already 7:28pm. How come I have no recollection of the 8 minutes? Where did the time go?

The paragraph must be very difficult to read for a lawyer to read a paragraph in 7 minutes. It's very good to immerse oneself in something totally. Let's hope that happen more and more often.
