So since classes started up again, time's been slipping away from me, so I looked at how I spent my time today, and it looks a little like this:
8hrs sleep
1hr in transit
3hrs in class
1hr study
5 hrs at work
1hr running errands
2hrs doing housework while watching TV
3hrs socialising (in person and online)
the 5hrs at work generally gets exchanged for study and boyfriend if I'm not working :/
So where's all your time going?
I spend most of my time lately either at college or driving to college. Any time not doing so is either spent at work at my office job, working on my sewing, sleeping, online smurfery or spending time with my loves. I've had very little free time for recreational reading and writing, so I've been trying to find a way to fit time in for that.
6 hours of sleep, 18 hours of internet.
Mine varies. Usually its something like; 3-6hrs sleep, 4-6hrs of job searching, all else is a combination of games and reading :monster:
9 hours sleep, 9 hours internet, 6 hours kissing cats
If i work a morning shift, I work 8 hours, come home and unwind for an hour or two, then take a nap for about two hours, then spend the rest of my night with my fiance.
if i work a night shift (my usual), then sometimes I'll wake up early, spend time with my fiance, then go to work. If he also has to work, I'll sleep in, get up, go to work, come home and either go to his place or stay home, depending on our work schedules the next day.
on days we have off together, I spend the night at his place the night before, then spend all day with him. If i have a morning shift the next day, he takes me home late at night. If I have a closing shift, he'll walk me home the next afternoon.
Basically, if i'm not working, i'm with my fiance, unless he's working. then i'm at home :D
12 hours of sleep, 1 hour of food, 11 hours of sleep.
No but seriously, I don't have any days of the week where I do the same :bou::bou::bou::bou:. I sleep too long but am always tired, so :monster:
slp
college
study / internet
tv show or movie
sometimes video games
slp
I have two options:
Option A:
Sleep until like 10:30
Watch an episode of something on the TV
Shower
Eat something
Clean stuff
Piss around
Clean something
Go to the grocery store
Cook dinner
Watch something
Piss around
Get ready for bed at 10:50
Get in bed at 11:00
Read until 1:00
Option 2:
Get a call at 6:00am
Get dressed and drive to sub somewhere
Get home at like 4:00
Cook dinner
The rest is the same
I wake up at 7 AM. School starts at 8 AM and finishes at 12. We skip most of the classes cause we're seniors, that explains why we only spend 4 hours at school. After that it's internet till 5 PM? Or perhaps 6. What does it matter? 6-7-8 Is gaming, reading ormasturbatinggenerally doing fun stuff around the house. 9 PM is back to EoFF (+internetz) :p. I stay here till 11-12 AM. 12 AM+ Is writing time, actually it's the perfect time for writing, if we're talking in crime novel language. Then sleep. Boring life if you ask me.
Sleeping, breathing, eating, college classes, internship, work, hanging out with friends, internet, texting, homework, watching movies, hygiene, and commuting.
Today was pretty much that ^ without the work. I have work and no internship tomorrow. The rest should apply. This week is going to be a bit different, because...
Tomorrow: I'm meeting with a director and will probably attend a private screening of a film in Tribeca. Then Wednesday, we have a thesis meeting. Then Thursday, advisor meeting. Saturday I'm going salsa dancing so that means Friday I have to find a dress unless my mom didn't give away all of her small ones.
8 hours of sleep where I trick myself into and out of various things.
maybe 2 hours of preparing and eating.
14 hours of pain.
8 hours work (includes 30 minute lunch break)
7 hours sleep
2 hours commute (usually includes 1 hour reading, 1 hour gaming)
1 hour 'get ready for work'
6 hours actually doing things I choose to do (dinner/TV/PC/Gaming/Danielle) or need to do (cleaning/shopping)
Something like:
-10 hours work
-6 hours sleep
-4 hours video games
-4 hours internet
sigh...
6-7 hours sleep
3 hours of commute
8-12 hours of facebook
7.5 hours of work
0.5 hours of lunch
1.5-2 hours of exercise
1-1.5 hrs of school if I bothered to care
3-4 hours of video games
This is a typical day. if I don't bother to go to 'school' it's used by facebook and video games anyway.
7 hours of sleep
at work for 9-11 hours
party the rest of the time.
7-9 hours sleep
2-5 hours school
1.5-2.5 hours gym
Homework and drinking fills the rest
My life is extraordinarily mundane, and nothing exciting hardly ever happens. LEGO Star Wars III is going to be in my grasp as of tomorrow, so that is bound to shake things up a bit (:|). But to be honest, I am perfectly contend with living an extraordinarily boring life.
Well, ideas come to me, randomly and then I look into them. Lately I've been on this.
To illustrate how perception may be wrong, especially concerning the 3rd dimension. Current theoretical postulates have put forth the idea that the third dimension we perceive as depth is an illusion created from a 2 dimensional existence that essentially bends. While we operate in three dimensions because that's how we perceive it, it may not be fundamentally correct to think of existence as being such.
And what do I discover?
Quote:
The holographic principle is a property of quantum gravity and string theories which states that the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on a boundary to the region—preferably a light-like boundary like a gravitational horizon. First proposed by Gerard 't Hooft, it was given a precise string-theory interpretation by Leonard Susskind[1] who combined his ideas with previous ones of 't Hooft and Charles Thorn.[2] In fact, as pointed out by Bousso,[3] Thorn observed in 1978 that string theory admits a lower dimensional description in which gravity emerges from it in what would now be called a holographic way.
In a larger and more speculative sense, the theory suggests that the entire universe can be seen as a two-dimensional information structure "painted" on the cosmological horizon, such that the three dimensions we observe are only an effective description at macroscopic scales and at low energies. Cosmological holography has not been made mathematically precise, partly because the cosmological horizon has a finite area and grows with time.[4][5]
The holographic principle was inspired by black hole thermodynamics, which implies that the maximal entropy in any region scales with the radius squared, and not cubed as might be expected. In the case of a black hole, the insight was that the description of all the objects which have fallen into the hole, can be entirely contained in surface fluctuations of the event horizon. The holographic principle resolves the black hole information paradox within the framework of string theory.
Quote:
The physical universe is widely seen to be composed of "matter" and "energy". In his 2003 article published in Scientific American magazine, Jacob Bekenstein summarized a current trend started by John Archibald Wheeler, which suggests scientists may "regard the physical world as made of information, with energy and matter as incidentals." Bekenstein quotes William Blake and asks whether the holographic principle implies that seeing "the world in a grain of sand," could be more than "poetic license".[12]
Although I understand all the concepts, I don't have a full comprehension of the complete, and entire validation of the scientific studies.Quote:
The holographic principle states that the entropy of ordinary mass (not just black holes) is also proportional to surface area and not volume; that volume itself is illusory and the universe is really a hologram which is isomorphic to the information "inscribed" on the surface of its boundary
...That's what you fill your days with?
Well, it's like this. That comes to me regularly.On a regular basis I'm friendless, no girl friend...I work out too though. I do home work some times.Quote:

That's about it.
Generally it goes:
Usually get 7 hours sleep or so.
8:30am - Wake up. Basically have a leisurely start to the morning.
9:45-ish - Set off to the University campus.
10:00am - Start work in the library. Will usually take about an hour off during the day to run errands/have lunch.
6:00pm - Usually head home.
Most nights at university I have something planned during the evening be it society stuff or seeing the missus. I have been known to stay much later at the library and I just adjust it based on my workload. It's not uncommon for me to stay until 7:30/8:00pm, but that's usually if I've had something distract me during the day and I want to make the time up. I've had people moan that I spend too much time in the library (I'm in there 7 days a week, though I'll start at half ten/eleven on a weekend), but I genuinely enjoy going there.
I've no idea what I'll do with myself when my exams are over and I no longer need to go to the library every day. I'll probably still do it.
I wish I could make some room in my day for pissing about :( I think that's what this is called now, and it's cutting into my sleep time.
7 hours of sleep
School
Work (Variable)
Girlfriend time
Looking at everyone's schedule in this thread makes me realize how much of my own time isn't really my own. I spend at least 2/3's of my day doing stuff I'd rather not (sleeping, working.)
People still have their own time past high school?Quote:

For example, almost all the time I spend on EoFF anymore (including right this second) I'm at work pretending to be processing credit card transations. It's kind of better this way since now I basically get paid to post here. :D
I really wish there was something I could do about the sleep thing though. That's so many lost hours I really wish I could be doing something fun/productive with.
Yes, I have time to work out, go to movies on occasion, watch movies, watch Doctor Who, play video games on occasion...eat, buy and listen to music.
Life is still pretty decent as far as being a slacker and procrastinator goes.
