Tonight I did something I haven’t done in a long time. The netbook, Macbook, and even the cell phone were turned off. This is pretty rare for me, and it was amazing to curl up and watch a movie in the dark, with it being quiet, and no worries in the world to deal with. Sadly it was short-lived, and the real world stresses and requirements come flying back very quickly.
I think I am going to start taking at least a few hours a week to unplug from the matrix. I am so easily reached and check so many sites and subscriptions all the time, some time for my self can’t be a bad thing can it? School has challenges this term and they make the aspect of getting my degree and a job in the industry even more amazing sounding.
It does help knowing that I am not alone in the world going though this mixture. The past few days I’ve been chatting with some classmates and it’s just a fun experience to look back and look forward and wonder where we will be in a few years. Who will be apart of the next googles, or Godaddys? Only time will tell.
I wouldn’t be able to do that unless I’m extremely tired, but even then, my phone wouldn’t even be off.
I know how you feel, I have 10 new books sitting on my shelf that I wanted to read this year. So far this year I’ve read only 2 of them. It’s sad.
