Sleeping Beauty

I'm a huge fan of sleeping. Srsly.
It's funny to think that when you're a kid your parents would force you hard to have an afternoon nap, but you'd rather stay awake and play in the park. Then you see yourself today you think, I'd give anything to have a short nap in the afternoon on a hot day =P.

I love sleeping, I love waking up late, I love curling in after lunch, I love laying down after a long day, alas, I love life more.
Since I started working full time, sleeping and lazying around has become something I treassure. Like a rain in a desert. In the office I work 9-5 with limited access to the internet, and limited privacy too. Then I have night classes that stops me from being able to reach home under 9pm. Tired as I am, I'm not ready to give up my favourite activities yet, that is going online and browsing the internet, watching some TV series, reading books and my new favourite activity for the past 5 months, chatting on the phone with the boyfriend.

It saddened me that I no longer have much time to read books and ponder away after, thinking of the meaning between the lines; or slouch on the couch all day watching TV series and fantasize that my life could be as dramatic; or fix my eyes all day in front of my computer writing, listening, interacting. That's where this whole thing becomes a problem, I'd rather use the free time I have to indulge in these activities than to sleep, as much as I love it.
I'm giving up sleeping early and my afternoon nap (in the weekend) for life. I'm giving up waking up late in the weekend for a healthier life (that is if I'm not too lazy to jog around or swim). So sleeping more than 10 hours (like I always love) has become something that comes once every blue moon, if I'm lucky.

Ironically, to imagine dropping work and school and other daytime activities for a moment of lazying around feels so hard. I'm so used to having something to do that the thought of having nothing to do scares me. That, and maybe I just love to whine =P.
