Time on my hands
Fiddling around with WordPress – adding plug-ins, analytics, widgets etc - got me thinking about how much I’m enjoying having time to myself now. I’m rediscovering PHP, reading newspapers, magazines and books for fun and not for class. I’m socialising and catching up with people all over again.
I was chatting with a couple of my fellow exec MBA’s last night at sundowners and discovered that I wasn’t the only one. There’s something different about going to bed now, piece of mind is the only way I can really explain it.
I left work at the end of every day for 20 of the past 22 months and started immediately thinking about school. I can’t explain how nice it is to leave work and think about absolutely nothing, to just take time and smell the roses.
Another side effect of the MBA is how much my TV watching has declined. I used to watch an hour or two an evening and now I feel guilt just turning it on. This has been to the wife’s delight. She never was much of a TV person.
I’ll probably be even giddier next week, with our summer ball and congregation (not convocation, apparently we don’t get our degrees officially till August). Then I’ll start looking for things to do with all the time I have now, I’ve got learning to play the guitar, learning Hindi, French and Spanish properly, taking golf lessons and going on holidays again on my to do list, but my own pace.
A friend of ours said the other day how much she like’s post MBA Farhan, and so do I, so do I.
