Saturdays are booked through May. With the occasional Friday or Sunday something that goes with a Saturday something.
People. I am not actually that busy. I have two, count them two nights in the next 7 days wherein I do not have dates. So 😛
Good Grief.
Are you scheduling time for yourself alone?
Agreeing with here
*ding-ding-ding-ding-ding*
The alarm that goes off in my head when someone says something like this is….is there enough time to do life stuff? Laundry, sitting with a book for pleasure, talking to a couple of friends… I know you have more free time in the day time, but is that in addition to time to do homework?
I’m just curious if my concept is unclear because most folks don’t have extra time during the day to themselves, where you do.
Re: Agreeing with here
Mondays I am alone all day until I either go to Plough or go on a date or something. Usually this means from when I get up till like 6:30.
Tuesdays ditto without the option of Plough.
Wednesdays I usually spend alone until I run to class. I generally do that at about 5:30.
Thursdays I run to class around 2:30.
Fridays… same as Mondays.
Weekends I have been hiding at home during the day before running off in the evening.
And to think, Miss Jenny thinks I’m never home.
I have more than enough time to do laundry and homework. And to sit around and think. I don’t really think that I need specially dedicated “night” hours to do the same thing.
Not to mention that lately I haven’t been going on as many dates and school nights I come home and generally spend 3-5 hours awake by myself.
Re: Agreeing with here
Yep, that’s why I was thinking it might seem like you had less personal time than you do. We’re fairly programmed to think of folks being on a nine-to-five schedule (or some variant thereof) and evenings being the only leisure time one has during the week.
I had a roommate once who was on swing shift while the third and I were both on daytime office hours. We never, ever saw him. I think I might have wondered if he was still around were it not for the insane messes he’d leave in the kitchen.
I am not scheduling time specifically, but there is a lot of it. See: response to tshuma.
*nod* just checking.
I am so there with you. I have standing tues, weds, and thurs evening plans (though each is accommodating of special opportunity rescheduling), and try to keep sunday evenings planned for downtime at home. Most saturdays are safely assumed to be planned out at some social event gathering (though it could be any of the many going on, and is frequently several. “There are no good weekends.“). Pretty much leaving me open to flexibly schedule monday and friday evenings. (Fridays though frequently get consumed in supporting weekend stuff — travel, shopping, set-up, etc.)
I also have the trouble that I hold in reserve any open time in my calendar that might be free for her to claim since we see too little of one another during the week. (That consumes a lot of weekend daytime and many of the remaining friday nights.)
Pretty much leaving me mondays as reliably free / dedicated alone me-time.
I can count 5, make that 6 if we consider how flakey the formerly blond one is… although it could get a TAD busier if I say yes to the Jewish boy…. but his work schedule is horific ….. which is part of why I think he wants to date me.
