This is for anybody and everybody interested in the everyday mundane chores of a mechanical engineering grad student, who'd rather be sleeping anytime than writing all this bull!

The art of doing..duh..nothing

yeah grad students are supposed to do something, create something, be somethin all the time..but have you felt the joys of doing nothing? If not, wake up and smell the coffee and please, puhleese 'do nothing!'.
After days and days of doing lots of things and everything, this sunday i had the opportunity of doing nothing..yeah i slept late..at about 4 in the morning but i got up at my own pace at 3 in the afternoon. And suddenly it all fell into place, I had nothing to do! for once in a long long time, i had no papers to read, no bugging emails in my inbox, no fone msg's about 'please be here at this nd this time'...i was free!
lying there watching TV was the best thing that i could figure out for today. And yes i did end up doin a little bit of things, but i guess its the closest you can get to doing nothing..my messy room was screaming at me but i didnt budge, alas, i had given myself the word of doing nothing today and for once i was gonna keep it.
So if u wonder how it feels after doin 18hrs of nothing..well..letsc..i feel like doing something, I really wanna go out and give my work my best shot this coming week! and that my dear friend is wat you get for doing nothing. 'nothing's' not all that bad, is it? atleast you get something outta it! LOL!
yeah! go ahead call me a crazy grad student! ohki if u've read the whole thing and are cursing me, i'll give you atleast a bit to think about..I've always wondered, there should be a better way to start your day than waking up....someone's just gotta find it, think you can do your grad studies in tht? l8r!
