Wow! I haven't blogged twice in a 7 day period in a long time. I'm enjoying this "having downtime" concept this weekend.
I've been spending a lot of my time recently avoiding studying. Honestly. I would love to say that I've been spending a lot of time studying, but mostly I try to avoid it. I cook dinner. I clean the kitchen. I do laundry with our fancy new washer and dryer. I stare blankly at the computer screen, fingers on the home keys.
Filling up my time in this way typically leaves me scrambling before something is due, which in turn leads to tears. I find that I can go about two weeks before the tears come, but then I remind myself I only have about 2 1/2 months left of the whole school thing. (Hey! That's only 3 more breakdowns where I cry and David is left feeling helpless!)
I like to imagine what life will be like once I'm not subject to reading articles at the stove while I'm cooking (just like the movie Mona Lesa Smile-you know, where she writes that article about being a married student). I wonder what new hobbies I'll take up in the evenings? Maybe I'll start back on some old ones...
I used to knit. I made this really great bag one time. And hats, buddy, I could make a hat in all of about an hour and a half. And scarves! I made about 12 for Christmas one year. My dad has already requested a sweater for his new puppy in time for their living history event in Feb.
I bet, with no homework I could finish that sweater and the hat I started for him a year ago in about a week. Yeah, that would be nice...
Or maybe I'll take up something else, like painting, or woodwork, or something really random, like decoupage. I think that would make Martha Stewart proud...
