Free time

I don't know how to vacation.

If given 15 minutes to relax, I know what to do: I'd check my email, read the internet news, practice a song or two. I know how to get the most out of small snippets of time.

But when faced with a complete day off, with no pressure, these same activities feel empty. These last two weekends, where I've had no work to do, no impending tests, no upcoming events, I've felt strange. It's ridiculous to look back on a weekend and realize I was sitting in front of a computer all day, refreshing my inbox and bookmarks, waiting for an update.

Time for a new hobby? That was the first thought that came to mind. But I have enough hobbies. Magic, musical instruments, video editing, These are all areas that I've dipped into and should develop further. I have all the information but am not using it.

I guess it's fitting that I don't anticipate much free time in the near future.
