Wasting time
Holidays are a moment in everybody’s life when one can easily do absolutely nothing or waste time without a guilty conscience. As for me, I love doing nothing, which in my opinion is exactly opposite to wasting time. It’s very simple: doing nothing is a means of enjoying your life, and how could that ever be a waste? Cleaning my room, reading books which could hardly be called literature, watching TV too long – that is a waste of time. First of all, why should I make an effort and tidy up my room if 1) I know where everything is now 2) I will make it “disorganised” again very quickly (my mother calls me sometimes tsunami :)). Secondly – reading lousy books is equal to watching very low-quality TV and, thirdly, watching too much TV makes you live somebody else’s life, leaving your own, potentially much better life, behind (as someone quite smart has once told me :)). So, I prefer NOT wasting my time and 1) do nothing 2) read good literature 3) listen to the music for hours……. :) Life can be lovely :)
Justyna, you seem to have forgotten to mention one more aspect of pre-programmed summer idling: chatting with the right people, which I think you handle quite well yourself. And listening to one another of course. There are few things more inspiring than a good talk, your list of solitary actions included.
