What does activity filled weekends mean?

I miss my solitude weekends!!
2 precious days of sleeping in late, curling up with a book, making a series of phone calls to hear the voice of people I care about is all I want to do sometimes.

A change in lifestyle or old habits can be such a pain. It has only been 2 months since I started striving for a more balanced weekend, i.e. going by the "one day out and one day home" rule of thumb, and I'm already pinning for my die-hard habits. Not that I don't enjoy the activities that I've added to my schedules so far... lets see: 2 movies, 3 cookouts, 1 house-warming, 1 BBQ, 1 open-air concert (by the way I watched one of Ibrahim Ferrer's last shows in London before he passed away after completing his Europe tour. He was 94 I believe.), 1 dedicated shopping day and well, 1 day stuck in my bed taking my own sweet time devouring HP6. Aha! That's not technically a "one day out" activity, but I consider it as a 'date' with Harry Potter (I meant the character, not Daniel! I'm not a phedophile!), and needless to say, I re-read the whole book on Sunday... hehe...

And for the coming weeks, I have badminton this weekend, BBC Proms, hopefully salsa classes next week, a tim-sum gathering in the planning as we speak, a trip planned for Freiburg to visit a dear old friend, a trip weekafter to Geneva, another cookout (this time by yours truly), 1 weekend to show some new friends around and dear Mummy and Big-Aunt might be visiting so my social life sounds jolly well planned out so far. (if no more incidents happen in London that is! *touchwood*)

So what exactly does activity filled weekend means?

- I'm too used to 2 rest days a week, hence I tend to oversleep on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday, till it's Saturday again.
- Going out in the afternoon means I'll miss the 'talking window' with my loved ones back home when they come home from their activities.
- Whatever happened to my "one day college, one day home" weekend plan that is supposed to help me finish up and relocate back home faster?
- The more I'm out, the more I want to lock myself in my room. Am I suffering withdrawal symptoms? *gasps*
- I think I just sooooo miss my usual weekend habits that my system is craving for some old normacy, which I also think makes me a more introverted person, so that's a no-go-zone.
- Excessive craving for hometime also makes me help out more with the sales slump problem in UK with the secret hope that when I dry up my reserves, I'll have no financial means to go out. Good for the economy. Bad for my pockets.
- I've lessened my obsessions with sudoku and spider solitare. (wouldn't want to end up like that Korean guy who died from exhaustion after playing 3 days of online game would I?)

So what am I going to do?

Oh, isn't that obvious? The weekends have already been planned out! I'll stick to them of course, and in due time, I shall think less and get out more for a healthier me. =)
