today was the first day that I have slept in my own bed since I have gotten back from NEST, and it was a good thing. I actually slept for about nine hours until my friend woke me up and told me that he was driving back to Texas, and then I fell back asleep for another four hours. I am not accustomed to so much sleep so I'm not sure what kind of effect it will have on me.
but today was kind of strange. not because anything weird happened to me, but because today was the first day since I started college that I really had nothing to do. I mean, there have been many times that I have spent a weekend just relaxing, but I have always had some sort of test to study for, or some sort of paper to write, or a job that I needed to go to. but I really had nothing pressing my schedule today, and I didn't know what to do with myself! tomorrow will be different, because I have a rehearsal to go to for my commencement ceremony on friday. that's going to be it until I move, and then I am going to worry about having to get a job. but right now I am in a stasis, just waiting.
to fill everyone in on the day's events, I woke up, spoke to some of my roommates family who were here to see him graduate, checked out the forum, read some peoples' kind words about the weekend, got some food, watched Around the Horn, and now I am feeling really old school by playing Tony Hawk. I also talked on the phone for a little bit, which was constructive and assuring, but now the only thing I have left to do is go back to sleep.
I will say this. though this blog seems to be about nothing (much in the way Seinfeld was), there is actually one point that I can draw from this: with no schedule to uphold or paces to be, I seem to go about my activities with no conviction at all, no real enthusiasm or effort being put out. I almost need to be rushed in order to get any real work done or to really put my heart into something. I mean, even NEST would end after a few days so we all had to get our play time in quickly. without these time constraints, some things just wouldn't be the same.
I guess I just always need a deadline for the rest of my life.
