having a "life"

This semester I chose not to do a part-time job because amidst 5 classes and involvement in lots of school activities, I wanted to have more of a life.  I wanted to have time to do simple everyday things that many college students do not have time to do, like watching some TV, taking a nice walk, and preparing a meal.  Since I have nothing too pressing with school this week, I have been fortunate to do so.  Yesterday morning I took a nice long walk on the boardwalk with a friend from choir.  It was moderate excercise and a good time to talk!  After my two classes, I went to the pool complex at school to swim and lay out.  San Diego has been experiencing very warm weather, so what better way to soak it all in?  I spent a good 2 or so hours out there before I went to my friend's room to catch up and sing / play guitar.  Today I went grocery shopping for some essentials after school (something I really love to do when I have time) and made myself an amazing grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread.  It was the first grilled cheese I have made in our new place, so it was pretty special.  :)  There will definitely be many more to come.  Then I watched a little bit of Larry King, who I love.  The topic was about America's public school and education "crisis."  I really love being informed and watching the news and programs like these, but throughout my college days I haven't had/made time to be as up on current events as I'd like to be.  All of this may sound silly and basic, but I am happy when I am able to have time for little things like these.
