One Week of Relaxing My Brain

For the last week I have barely left the house. My days have been spent watching TV, surfing the Internet, and playing GTAIV. My only thoughts of school-related things were of my grades, which turned out about like I expected. Books to read have been put aside as has writing of any kind while my brain was allowed to do what it could not do in any way during school. That is to say, I shut down. I feel a bit sleepy still and my body is a bit stiff from the lack of movement, but no longer do I feel like my hair is about to fall out like a chinchilla's.

I like these times though. I wake up whenever I want, do most anything during the day, then go to sleep when I just start to be tired. I could never live like this all the time, but for a week or two at a time I could certainly get into it. A life of mindless enjoyment in which the days flow without any concern is a good life. While a bit of wine would make the entire experience much more enjoyable.

The party, or lack there of, is going to be over starting tomorrow though. The next few weeks are going to be busy getting ready to go out to LA, reading up on a few books I don't want to take with me out there, and taking care of a few loose ends that need to be tied when I get back from LA.

As the laundry list of things to do starts to be made again I may not feel excited about it at first, but that is because it is hard to start moving again sometimes. It hurts to get going again. Being out of breath is no fun, but soon you don't need as many breaths. While you may have to stop eventually for a while it gets to the point where running feels goods. And thankfully this summer will only be a bit of a jog.
