Labor Day weekend is always an interesting holiday. Last year I worked on homework and went swimming with a group of my friends. This year I went swimming and worked on homework again. However, the last few days spent in my room pretending to be productive have actually been quite lovely for the following reasons. 1) I’m actually enjoying just about all the class readings I have this semester especially the second of two books we’re reading simultaneously in Core 201. 2) It has been really rather quiet which, although it may be slightly lonely in the weird there-are-people-here-but-I’m-still-lonely kind of way, was a pleasant change. 3) My room finally feels like home. I’m happy to be sitting in my warm bed typing away the insignificant details of my life because I changed the layout of my bedroom. Who would have thought interior decorating could make insignificance so lovely? 4) Did I mention reading a Core book, That Hideous Strength, more for pleasure than for actual homework? I greatly enjoy C.S. Lewis and am so pleased to be reading two of his works for class.
After a lovely and peacefully long weekend it only makes sense that I oughtn’t have anytime during the week. I was looking at my calendar this afternoon only to discover I have an appointment with someone every day but Friday not to mention the events that I am obligated to attend. On the upside, at least I won’t be bored.
