free time

Finally, the swim season is over. Instead of getting home at 6:30PM after practice every day, I get home around 2:30PM, which creates an extra four hours of my day! Today I drove my younger sister, Molly, home from school. I had a doctor appointment after school that my mom and drove to as soon as I got home. By the time that was over, it was not even 3:30PM. So, instead of rushing home to do my homework which I usually do, I convinced my mom that we "needed" to go to Barnes & Noble. There's nothing better than finding a new great book to read, and I was excited to finally be able to do some "recreational reading" rather than just reading for school. By the time we got home it was not even 4PM. That's two whole hours before I even am thinking about getting out of the pool. I wasn't even sure what to do with myself! This extra time feels like such a luxury, and I can't wait to indulge in it again tomorrow...
