Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Ah, Sunday. The day of rest, or more specifically, the day to recuperate from the weekend. Ideally weekends are for recovering from the week, but the best weekends are the wild and crazy ones that require you to spend Sunday recovering from them, right?

Usually, my Sundays involve me waking up at noon, and then lounging around in bed for the following hour. I’ve never been one to be able to jump out of bed as soon as I wake up, I need about half an hour whenever I wake up to warm up to the idea that eventually, I must get out of bed and start the day. I’m not usually hungry after I wake up, but I’ll go to my school cafeteria anyway to get lunch. After eating, I return to my dorm room, promising myself that I will make some progress on my homework. I never do homework on Friday nights and occasionally I’ll start it on a Saturday afternoon, but Sunday is really my day to get all my studying done. I’ll start working on my assignments Sunday afternoon, but more often than not my Sunday work ethic involves being easily distracted friends, Facebook, my cell phone, etc., and I never really manage to finish my homework until late Sunday night.

By the time dinnertime rolls around, I usually find that I’ve spent my Sunday afternoon relaxing in bed and surfing the Internet or watching a movie instead of completing my homework in a timely manner. I find that’s the beauty of a Sunday afternoon, though. It’s a perfect time to unwind from the weekend and rest up for the coming week, and there’s never any pressure to get anything done on a Sunday afternoon, because Sunday nights are for frantically finishing the homework you should have done much earlier in the weekend! I love being lazy on a Sunday afternoon, relaxing is the perfect way to wile away the day. There’s always the evening to spend getting work done, so the afternoon can be spent doing nothing whatsoever and enjoying every moment of it!

Question of the Week: What’s your favorite way of spending a Sunday afternoon? What is a normal Sunday afternoon like for you?
