RSS Feedthe time that i had 13 days off from work – parts I, II, & III
prologue (22 december):
it was a struggle getting through work on monday. knowing that monday would be followed by 13 days of relaxation was too exciting. there was barely anybody in the office so luckily i was able to get some last minute items done before the holiday break. i was so excited that instead of taking the bus from the train station i decided to walk. as you see in the post below, that was somewhat of a mistake. that having been said, as you will read shortly, i haven’t left the apartment much since i got to walk home in -3 degree weather.
part I (23 december):
this started out my marathon of tv watching by trying to get through. by the end of the day i had like 12 hours of sleep and 12 hours of tv watching under my belt. there wasn’t much left on my tivo to be watched.
part II (24 december):
by this point in my vacation i started to realize that i wasn’t going to be able to keep this up much longer. the tivo was pretty much empty except for a few select programs. i finally moved on to starting to watch seasons 1 and 2 of mad men.
part III (25 december):
not a very exciting christmas. not going back home to see the family kind of ended up sucking, especially with having all of this time available. i’m nearly done with season 2 of mad men and it has gotten crazy good. i’ll be sad when i’m done but luckily only have a few months before season 3 starts.
after mad men is done i’m going to breeze through season 1 of damages and then i think i’ll be done with catching up on all of my television that i’ve been meaning to get through. beginning tomorrow i will also be trying to add other activities to my daily agenda as television watching and napping has gotten old really quickly. next week i hope to stop in at the art institute and see all my favorite impressionist pieces that have finally returned. beyond that i’m not sure what else i am going to do to fill in the time.
the time that it was the second day of february.
it’s hard to believe that it’s already february. we’re 1/12 through the year. before we know it it will be july.
this week seemed to go by rather quickly. the highlight of the week would definitely have to be thursday. turner sports took some of us from work to dinner and to see a show at second city. i had never gone and had been wanting to for a while now. second city is absolutely amazing. very similar to gayco, which i love as well. i’m definitely going to have to start going to the shows more often.
it ended up snowing an insane amount on thursday. i woke up and opened the front door this morning and there was about 6-8 inches out there. i ended up working from home today which was just more stressful than i care to think about right now.
ah the most exciting news of all … i finally got my membership card for the art institute this week! i can’t wait to go again, it’s been ages since i’ve gone.
until later.
