48 Hours.

It's Thursday already, and the weekend is coming really soon. Well not that I'm actually anticipating anything particular or anything special that's gonna happen this weekend, but I'd finally get my 48 hours. I was giving it some thought and I realized that a weekend away from the busy workplace is ONLY 48 hours. And that's too short! I'd probably just breeze through it, spending around 20 of it to sleep :p And the remaining 28 doing humdrum things that are probably a waste of time too. It's not like I'm busy all the time at work, but when you're at work, time flies so fast and it's not like you're still productive when you get home, and you're able to do stuff for leisure. You just want to be on lazy mode and just wanna get some sleep.

I've even come to a realization that maybe my life's become a routine, and my day-to-day activity is comprised of the same things, and highlights of my day comprises of a good cup of coffee in the morning, getting sugar high from chocolate, seeing or talking to Ian, watching a favorite show, oh and getting 8 hours of sleep. Other than that, I don't think I live an extra ordinary life that is even worth
writing about. And it's not like I've had some phenomenal experiences or life-changing discoveries. Hmm.. does new learnings from Discover Channel count?

I miss doing new stuff, doing interesting things,learning new things everyday. Apart from my dose of Discovery Channel and Animal Planet (How nerdy can I get :p But I like watching those channels :D), does learning new things from google count too? I learn stuff at work but it's what, work related. I guess when you get older, the only teacher left is experience.

I also miss reading, I still read but it's mostly magazines and fiction books. From time to time, some stuff dawn on me, and I get to realize things and have some learnings but part of me still crave for more knowledge, and when you're working, I guess the thirst for knowledge is never quenched. Then you realize the irony of it,when you're in school, you want to graduate, it's like you think you've learned what you needed to know, and you're actually learning too much- you even have to take those subjects that won't come in handy in real life(like calculus), and when you're working already, you just wanna learn again and go back to school.

I guess it all boils down to one thing, life's too short. We just have to make the most out of it. Even if in a week, there's just 48 hours left to do the most productive or unproductive thing you can think of (..that isn't work-related, leave work for Monday to Friday). Make the most out of school, make the most out of work, make the most out of the 48 hours.
