I'm off to never never land

It's a long weekend. These days feel like a much- needed breath of fresh air, since my weekends are often indistinguishable from the rest of the week. Normally, my saturdays are spent at school and sundays are consumed by deadlines and to-do lists; now, I have entirely two and a half days to spend. It doesn't seem like much but for people like me, it is very relieving and rare to find adequate time for schoolwork and even small leisurely things. Speaking of leisure, I have lately been restricting my internet- surfing to make time for other priorities. The idea of keeping away from the inescapable vortex of blogs and networking sites seemed unheard of at first; but I remember that I have successfully given up the television in the past, and that has convinced me to believe in the magic of willpower. Now, I can proudly say that I have gotten used to a maximum of 4 hours a week of unnecessary internet time (inclusive of online chatting!). I know, I really should have a monument made soon for all this sacrifice. Haha. Seriously though, this recent act has been making me feel like I am more in-control of my time, and that can't be bad, right? So unless things change and I suddenly become in dire need of people, I am sticking to my four hours hopefully until summer vacation. It's kind of pathetic if you think about it in a one-step-closer-to-being-a-lonely-isolated-hag kind of way, but otherwise I guess it's alright. :) It's been pretty easy so far, actually. Sure, it hurts my ego to find that booni has more friends than I do (no really, check out his bunspace), but then again my life is way way more complicated than his. :D |
