[personal profile] perpetual_motion
Whenever I'm in school I stop doing stuff for the fun of it. It's never been intentional; I just get busy and stay busy and what little downtime I have I don't want to spend doing STUFF. Even if said STUFF is fun.

But there's all kinds of STUFF I want to do. I crochet, and I like to read, and there's television to watch on Netflix (both Silk Stalkings AND Mag 7), and I'm working on a comic book when I have time, plus there's the novel to edit.

And all of these things are fun for me, and I want to do them.

So I'm pencilling them in. I have an iPad. It has a calendar. I'm taking chunks of time and designating them purely for fun stuff. Tomorrow, I'm getting up, going to the gym, coming home and proofing then sending an assignment, and then I'm going to read for an hour. After that, I'm going to pick up around the apartment for an hour (it may take less time), and then I'm going to crochet and watch TV, and then I'm doing some research for class before I forget.

It's amazing to put it down to concrete chunks of time, because then I look at it and go, "Um. Okay, what do I do in the two hours I have left before class?" The answer right now is that I have no freaking idea, and I'm glad of it. I know I'll get busier, and those two hours will get used up for some project or another academic-wise, but I'm going to give myself time to chill this quarter. I don't care what kind of a dork it makes me that I'm scheduling it.
