doing

now that i'm finished teaching and on vacation one of the first questions people ask me is "so, what are doing?" or "what are you going to do?" or "what will you do?"

i find it peculiar that they assume since my 'work' is finished i must have nothing to do, or that i don't want to do anything. which is not that case whatsoever. i would rather prefer people ask me: "so what do you want to do with your time now?" or "how are you enjoying a little break?"

my answers to the former questions are getting a little bitter and sarcastic (ie 'oh, you know, sitting around, eating junk, watching movies, sleeping...'), which can be fun but not for everyone.

the truth is, i'm perfecting the art of enjoying time.

that's what i'm 'doing.'
