October 20th, 2007 : A Rushed Lifestyle
It’s day 3 of mid-term break. A solid 3 days without classes. I spend day 1 working in the Theater department, and I spend most of day 2 playing video games and watching TV. Today was spend mostly outside, but between today and yesterday, I have just hit the point where, I feel like I have nothing to do.
When life becomes busy, people get use to it, then when it stops being busy they don’t know what to do with themselves.
I think we have forgotten how to relax. Even I find it hard to sit back and enjoy myself if I know there are a dozen things I should/could be doing. Even our “down time” is being filled with online interaction, video games, movies, all keeping us from truly relaxing.
Assignment for this week: spend 30 solid minutes doing absolutely nothing, and don’t regret it afterwards.
