Between Absurdism and a 500, I managed to squeeze in some time to lie in the grass. This was mostly practical, since I can't eat my lunch in the library, nor was it likely that I would be able to finish my reserved reading in the 50 minutes. Coupled with the fact that it was entirely too nice to be stuck in the library yet again.
It was so nice to sit. To stretch. To breathe. I put on my iPod and absorbed the world on my terms. Having released all the tension, air bubbles and hidden energy/stress pockets in my body, I just laid back, staring up into the blue sky and trees on a beautiful late summer day. Well, early autumn as a few leaves lazily drifted toward me.
The goal (because everything needs an objective these days) was to convert my sense of mental exhaustion and frustration into relaxation. I didn't lack energy, I just lacked tension. I gave up on the idea of recharge or rejuvenate since my body wants about 3 more hours of sleep.
After running around yesterday and not accomplishing ANYTHING on my daily to-do list, with the exception of reading Artaud (which I have done in the past), today's breather was the most productive thing I have gotten done in 2 days. Right now I am blogging instead of replying to all my students. And later, I suspect I will be either at Blue Gator or sleeping to the game instead of reading Macbett.
