A concept called free time
Adjusting to life without a million assignments due and hundreds of pages to read has proven somewhat difficult. I like to be productive, and I have had a difficult time wrapping my head around the fact that cleaning the apartment, doing laundry, and making dinner is "being productive." For so long those things were simply seen as tasks that were necessitites. And they still are necessary, however I am having to adjust my mindset that these necessary tasks also count as "doing something today." There are days when I think "man I am just really lazy" because I want to take a nap or just sit and watch musicals all day. Then I realize just how extremely tired I still am from being a full-time student and working sometimes up to 3 jobs for the last 8 years of my life. I don't think I will ever re-gain all the sleep I lost over the last 8 years, but I am slowly allowing it to be ok to rest. I do have to be careful because I very easily lose track of time and there have been many days where I don't really know what I was doing for the past 2 hours. All in all, I am making the transition. I have also started crafting again, which has been super fun! Job hunting has to be one of the most frustrating things I have ever done.
