Making the most of time

With 5 full days at work and no flexibility to the working hours and working place, the weekends are especially valuable.

I’m falling prey to silly greed, trying to do as much as possible during the weekend even though I’m tired. I figured since I’m going to be tired anyway, it might as well come from play rather than work. So I was out shopping half the day yesterday, and out at East Coast learning to roller blade, then off to explore Tampines and took a super round-about route home across Changi, Geylang and Kallang today.

It was especially bad overseas. Desperately trying to maximise whatever time I have to go around, I dashed across several places in Seoul in a day, even if it means carrying an umbrella and getting drenched because of the rain. Even if it means walking around Tokyo at 11pm with a flush from fever. Philippines should be tough though, considering the poor public security.

Maybe that’s why the people who work full time always complain about being tired. They “work” 7 full days a week!

When I start working full time (which is creepily soon), I think I’m going to miss mostly the freedom to control my own time when I’m in school. And I might pick up some exciting hobbies because the weekends are far too valuable to be wasted away at home.
