Old Habits Die Hard

Last Sunday, I was left home alone for the day, something that hasn't happened in a very long time. The reason was that I had a take-home midterm exam due the next day, and I needed some quiet time to work on it. So, what did I do instead? I reverted back to my college days. It was a typical lazy Sunday from days past. I stayed in bed until one o'clock in the afternoon. I microwaved a frozen burrito for lunch and ate it standing at the kitchen counter. I didn't shower. At one point, I felt a minor twinge of motivation, so I laid my schoolwork out on the coffee table. But, the moment passed, and I threw Office Space in the DVD player, curled up on the couch, and laughed my butt off! By the time my wife got home around 5:30 or so, I was a third of the way through Swingers and had spent a total of about twelve minutes working on my midterm throughout the day! I don't really want to spend every Sunday this way, like I did in college, but it sure is nice to have a lazy Sunday every now and then.
