hooky
so today i played hooky for a few hours and i tell you what, i don't really feel all that guilty! hooray! yes, i'm one of those people who find it hard to take time off from work or to just say "f it"....today i'm going to do what i want to do. i've been saying ever since school let out that i'm going to take an entire day and do all the things that i would like to do but never have time for...i said was going to do it yesterday. nope. ended up working all day. i thought about doing it today and instead, i plopped in front of my computer and started reading and responding to student posts, until....my friend sarah called--she got off work really early and told me to get my butt over her place to lay outside on top of her roof. i hesitated for a moment...that jiminy cricket voice telling me that i should stay home and work but i squelched it. oh yeah. i didn't listen! before i could talk myself out of it, i threw on my suit and walked over her place and spent 2 and a half hours in the warm sun, reading, talking, and thinking (not all at the same time, mind you). it was exactly what i needed today :)
