One more day. Then the shackles of employment slap shut once again.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited, both at the prospect of a job that doesn't suck and a big steady paycheck. But apart from school, I've had time to do whatever the hell I wanted for a sort of ridiculously long time now. It's weird to think that I won't be able to check whatever sites I want when I want. That my cell phone will have to go ignored until appropriate intervals. That my time won't be 100% my own whenever I want it to be.
I know, the woes and tribulations, right? Blah blah, bitch some more.
It's kinda cool though. I'm watching my "free" days tick away, and I chose to spend all of today writing. It felt good. Not just from a "I wrote" perspective (though that was awesome), but the affirmation of what I said previously, that when I don't have all the time in the world to do it, I actually do. I sort of suck like that.
So tomorrow is my last day, and I'm wondering what to do with it. Well, I have some errands I have to run, so I'll get that out of the way first. Need lunchy things that are easily preparable, and a new Def Leppard CD that must be made mine. Other than that though, it's a big question mark. Do I work on some organizing I've been meaning to do for like 2 years? Clean up real good and go back to work with a spotless apartment? Veg on the couch all day watching movies and/or playing games? Dive into some fanfic archives and embrace my inner nerd?
So many choices. Only one shot to make the "right" one.

Finished a commish, finished LAIKA stuff for a few more days, my attention is on that.. writing thing ;
So it goes; man is born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward, etc. etc.
If it were me in your shoes, which it isn't, but if it were, my inclination would be to avoid anything that smacks of useful accomplishment. Take a day trip somewhere frivolous but amusing... the kind of thing that would be hard to find time for when you have a regular job. That's what I'd be looking for.
