How To Be a Person

This is something I think I’m only learning how to do while balancing out an intensive academic schedule. This is my basic formula:

1. Keep busy, but make sure there is free time for fun.

2. Break routines. Go downtown on weekday afternoons, eat dinner at funny hours.

3. Get outside. Walk in the woods, escape the campus cage.

4. Dance. Unabashedly and unskillfully.

I’ve eliminated almost all of my procrastinating habits (do I get a gold star?) which means I have a LOT more time on my hands. I’ve been spending most of it reading or shopping in Used Book Stores downtown for more books to read. A vicious cycle. Last night I choose not to read but to finally watch An Education. I loved it and highly recommend it to anyone willing to watch a movie without space battles or epic gun shootouts.
