why isn't there an in between?
At every stage in my life I've either been overwhelmed because they was too much going on or depressed and bored because there was nothing going on. Why can't there be just enough so that your mind doesn't have time to obsess but not so much that you do stupid things like close the front door on your right temple? Yep, did that tues. night and saw stars even though I live in the city.
It is possible to obtain this perfect amount of obligation/free time but only temporarily. According to my lazy standards the perfect schedule would be no work and taking 1 summer class that meets twice a week. I had this for 4 weeks of my summer (the class was 6 weeks but 2 weeks overlapped with my clinic schedule and then I had obligations every day. No good!) It has been hard coming back down to reality. Plus I just started a part-time job this week because it's nice sometimes to buy groceries and not just exist on peanut-butter and jelly. Add that to working tues. and thurs. at the speech clinic and that just leaves me cranky!
Of course, I'm never gonna be happy with things as they are but I can't help being so envious of people who don't have to work. I swear, if I was rich I wouldn't buy extravagant things. Just an average house, an average car, decent clothes (nothing more ritzy than Gap), and food! Hey, anyone want to leave their money to me?
