Time Is On My Side

I asked a co-worker today, "Do you know what I have to do today?"
He replied, "No. What?"
A small smile slowly came across my face, turning into a large grin. "Nothing.", I replied.

I have something today that I have missed for the past 3 years: free time. School is over. Sure, I had breaks between quarters, but they never lasted more than 2 weeks. During most of them I would be working on project ideas for the following quarter.

Today feels very different. I came home from work, laid down, and watched TV. I am completely relaxed. There is no urge to jump out of bed, and quit wasting time. I feel good.

I am going to enjoy this for a couple weeks. After that, I will start working on some personal projects. I have been making a list of project ideas that I have been looking forward to digging in to. I also have a seperate list of books that I want to read. These 2 lists will keep me busy, but I'll happily take breaks whenever I feel like it.
