Lazing over the weekend

We all are so tense most of the time that the thought of wasting a whole day (literarily the whole day) seems preposterous to most of us. Today was one such day. After a long time did I clock close to 14 hours sleep roughly over a period of 24 hours. Sleep of that duration, well that’s very good according to my standards. Today I was so very aware of the time going by while wasting a whole day. I knew I got tons of work to do. I had to go over some paper work , visit the bank, read the past papers that I has saved up to read later over the last week, get my car serviced, get my dad’s car serviced, help my sister with some work of hers, run errands and so on. All along I remembered almost each of these tasks yet I didn’t care one bit. At times doing such a thing has its perks. It gives you a sense of freedom from the day to day chaos, a sense of liberation.

So what did I do, I got up late, started watching a movie soon after breakfast, then another one and then start surfing the net till I was really tired. I wrote a blog post, edit it a bunch of times and then grabbed a bite and dozed off. Then I resume the same cycle again that I had just before lunch. The whole process gives one a sense of satisfaction. Doing just NOTHING!
Oh I love that feeling once in a while. So while I type this post, I am battling between the sleepy eyes, the movie that needs my attention, and a hungry stomach that has been growling since mid night. Tomorrow being a Sunday, I am likely to do the same thing, but something tells me that I might need to run errands or get yelled at by my mom. Yeah, some of the things you go through while visiting home.
B-schools, or any other school for the matter, have a way of keeping you busy one way or the other. Either the professors end up piling work on you, or friends end up pulling you into some activity, project, out-door trip etc. So one often finds weekends just zooming by with no free time for oneself (yes, I like that kind of weekend too). However, the weekend that I am currently having is the one that is followed by Monday morning blues. After lazing around the house for the whole day, having absolutely no work over the weekends, Monday morning seems like “Mordor” (LOTR). One has to be brave to battle the fear and resistance.
Now that the movies on my DVDs are almost all exhausted, I am moving to the TV room and planning to switch between Star Movies and HBO every now and then. I hope they have a good lineup of movies today.
