The free time

When I have nothing to do, and I am in college anymore, there is a lot and lot of free time.

First and foremost, due to the immense delay in my start date at work, I am broke and extremely free. I have absolutely nothing to do, which will probably result in me eating and sleeping a lot, and gaining some ten odd pounds. Not good.

On the other hand the past week was not as bad. I decided, it is time I started reading anything everything that remotely captures my interest. If I say I spent 3 days, finishing the twilight saga, I know people will question my intellect, but hey, nothing better than reading some hopeless romantic and happily ever after stories.

I have to say I was never into science fiction. I am very much into the happy life stories. They make my imagination go wild. I can’t stop till I finish the book, I forget to take breaks, and time just flies by. The past three days have made me realize that all I have to do is read, and three months may not be that bad.

I used to read a lot in high school, then the interest just got lost somewhere in the overwhelming freedom that college comes with. I realized how much I loved reading when I was on the train yesterday reading, and I was so lost in it that I missed my station by 3 stations. never ever, have a missed my station. NEVER in 5 years. And then yesterday, I refused to get off my bed, and ignored all phone calls, and just read, all day, almost half the night. I just read.

I can’t say I’ll have the same passion for everything I read, but I am hoping reading gets me calmer, more occupied and tired. I don’t even get nightmares when I put myself to bed after reading, instead of the usual youtubing.

Phewww. who knew.
