Lazy Days
Every weekend I always say that I am going to be an overachiever and get my homework done, but it turns out that is probably never going to be the case. I use the weekends as a time to relax and catch up on sleep, but at the same time I use it as a time to just get away from school so when I have to start back I am refreshed and renewed. This weekend was no different. I went home and had things to get done, but at the same time it was just nice to go through a few days in a room where I didn't have to do anything. Christmas break is going to be so weird! It will be the first time I have no homework and I can just solely focus on relaxing for a couple weeks. Anyways I have done a pretty good job procrastinating so far this weekend. The class Wednesday morning was canceled so I am coming in Wednesday morning which is exciting. I visited family this weekend and I will have been in the car for a total of 13 hours this weekend, but first we have to add an additional hour and a half because we were stuck in traffic on the tollway outside of Chicago. So I finally decided to start on my homework. I was going to finish my English, but I cannot access the Purdue files, so I am getting about 1/10 of what I should be getting done, actually done! So, yep, that was pretty much my weekend and hopefully yours was even better!

1/10th? That sounds about right for me too! I used to feel guilty about not getting work done on the weekends, but then I discovered something: People outside of academia often don't work on the weekends! Imagine my surprise! So, now I try to give myself at least one full day of guilt-free relaxation each weekend:)
ReplyDeleteI tell myself all week long that I am going to work hard during the weekend, but then I thing leads to another and the whole weekend has flown by. I really wish that I wasn't such a procrastinator. I always think that everyone is so much farther ahead in their work, but in reality everyone is procrastinating just like me. When I first set up my schedule, I thought I would have so much free time and get done so early. Sadly, that is not the case. I feel like I have no time to get anything done. I feel like what makes things hard is finding a time for your engineering group to meet, specifically a time where everyone can make it.
