iBelieve In Symmetry Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 School, work, what? And what about when you get home from work (or school, whatever have you)? Are you ALWAYS occupied? What about weekends? Let's share, people! I'm feeling curious.
fabulous_chk Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I chose an early class so I don't spend the day away thinking an laying on my bed. It's a beginner's swimming class, totally awesome, I love it!!! I have a biochemistry class that ends at 9PM. By the time i get home it's time to sleep. In between i bike for an hour and listen to music. If the weather's bad I go to the gym. Fridays i hang out with friends, we drink and watch movies. Saturdays i go to the gym or bike in the neighborhood. Sundays i go to the park, bike, and do my homeworks. There are still unaccounted hours, which i spens online and think about the ex, the current guy, the guys i'm gonna date. It's raining men for me right now, got 4 guys hitting on me. Life is good!
Author iBelieve In Symmetry Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 How about YOU begin the sharing. Alright, alright. Well most days is just school, exercise, and LS. I'm a full-time student. If I'm not in school, I'm working ON school (homework, studying). If I'm not doing that, I'm exercising. Running, stretching/yoga, weights, biking. I love to shower, it kills time and gives me a positive feeling for some reason. I watch movies on netflix (haha), but rarely watch TV. Sometimes I just sit in my living room and listen to my iPod. I check online for any shows that may be coming up. Socially, I chat online occasionally but not much, same with texting or talking on the phone. I hang out with close friends every once in a while. But I spend A LOT of time with my family. My brother's pretty much my best friend. Also, I don't have special days. For examples going to the movies on Fridays is the same as going to the movies on Mondays for me. Whenever I'm tempted to contact my ex, I just come on LS. Or browse the web... Meh, not much but it's enough for now, I suppose.
andy2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 normally weekends are more difficult. Work > Back home > Exercise > Watch TV > Listen Songs > read news Weekends: Cleaning > Washing > Weekly Shopping> Watching movies (on PC) > Reading news
Ilovehim Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Well now I don't have school cause it's summer...so I work, work, work. Sometimes I hang out with my best friends..go online..talk on the phone..and once in awhile go to clubs. Lol...definetely need some readjustments!
hopefulInFuture Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 You have to focus on what makes you happy and what makes to forget the other person. I don't think there's any general rule. Although what works for me is being always out doing something. This sunday I spent 8 hours on the bike while I cycled for 60 miles. It was a great weather, beautiful place, great company and I had so much fine. I was so tired afterwards that I did not think about anything,,, nothing at all . In the evenings after work, I love going to the park, immersed in the green and reading. Reading the books on criminal minds . I just don't understand my passion with criminal stories. Now I am reading the dictionary of serial killers. Wow, it's so interesting to me. I wonder whether it's a sign that I just wanna kill my ex . If I finish the work earlier, I meet up with some friends and we walk for 2-3 hours around the city. I love walking and it's so refreshing. I also go swimming and on the weekends I love hanging out with my friends, people I have a lot of interesting discussions with. I noticed that what makes me forget the most what happened are the activities that make me a better person, that make me learn something new.
adamt Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 work then home for something to eat then gym for 2 hours(started 3 weeks ago) then eat again at about 9pm. watch a bit of tv and browse the internet. tryign to get into reading books. weekends try to get away for the weekend and visit people i havent caught up with for a while
Lizzie60 Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Day: work... by mostly surfing the Internet.. (that's when I have the most time for LS) After work: home.. dinner... running errands... I have to make some time for my new bf (big word) Evenings: mostly with lovers (MMs) Weekends: work around the condo... activities with friends and families... I don't see MMs as much on weekends anymore.. except the very few that can only see me on weekends.. I need time for myself..
bluewolf17 Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Well, being 26, I spend a fair amount of time with friends. M-Friday I have a 9-5 office job. Then I go to the gym M-Thursday. I play volleyball Mondays, horseback ride each Saturday, and most days in between I am spending with one of my girlfriends. Like today I have work till 5pm, then I have a hair appointment (yah!) then I am meeting one of my best friends for drinks. Tommorow is work again, gym, then my best friend and roomate and I are planting our garden. Fridays and Saturday nights we almost always go out on the town. The hardest day is always Sunday. Those where the days the Ex and I always spent together. So I try to see my family, friends, and do somthing good for me. Go to the bookstore, take a long nap, etc. Since we broke up, I have lost 29 lbs. I can't beleive it! I always wanted to shed some extra "love" pounds I put on during the relationship, and now they are just falling off! Bought some new jeans..and lingerie..just in case
CaliGuy Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 School, work, what? And what about when you get home from work (or school, whatever have you)? Are you ALWAYS occupied? What about weekends? Let's share, people! I'm feeling curious. Working out (a lot), Golf, hanging with friends, lots of time on the computer (duh!), beach/pool time, reading, etc. I can always keep myself occupied.
waitingpatiently Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Hmmm lets see: I work pretty much every other day. I'm looking for a fulltime 9-5 job that way I'll be occupied pretty much everyday. I also get on the computer...read (when I have a good book), and write in a journal...It helps!lol I'll be going back to school as a full-time student this fall,but hopefully by then I'll pretty much be over him.
bella16 Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I go to the gym in the mornings, work full-time during the week, and take a kickboxing class at night, and love every minute of it. Especially now going thru a break-up, my kickboxing class is helping me release stress, sadness, and anger from my body and I come home feeling rejuvenated and happy again. The weekends I spend with friends, and I do it all over again during the week. I stopped contacting him, he will realize what hes missing! Im moving on with my life!
Author iBelieve In Symmetry Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 Lol...definetely need some readjustments! Haha, I thought the same after reading over mine. I thought I was productive, and I guess I am... but for some reason I feel like it's not enough

Sounds good, congrats!
Author iBelieve In Symmetry Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 This sunday I spent 8 hours on the bike while I cycled for 60 miles. Damn! I was actually thinking about doing this. But the closest, longest trail around where I live is only about 30 miles. Better than nothing, though, right? I wonder whether it's a sign that I just wanna kill my ex . LOL! If you read enough and watch enough CSI maybe you will be able to without getting caught.
boogieboy Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I dont do shyte. I have part time school and then nothing. Its driving me nuts. I got laid off, and im on the gov't dole right now. In my leisure time, Im on this damn site. I should be doing some kind of production, but I completely lost my muse and it hasnt come back since my ex dumped me 4 months ago. I want to get a job, no one calls back. Now Im obsessed now with finding places to meet new women (during the day) so I can fill the void and get that over with. Theres not alot of jobs that you can meet a variety of people. Hard to find people during the day when theyre all working. (that dont work in fast food)
Author iBelieve In Symmetry Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 work then home for something to eat then gym for 2 hours(started 3 weeks ago) then eat again at about 9pm. watch a bit of tv and browse the internet. tryign to get into reading books. weekends try to get away for the weekend and visit people i havent caught up with for a while Good for you on starting to work out. Your days seem pretty filled up, which is good. And I highly recommend reading. Pick up a good novel, get into it, and it can really distract you from everything.
Author iBelieve In Symmetry Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 Since we broke up, I have lost 29 lbs. I can't beleive it! I always wanted to shed some extra "love" pounds I put on during the relationship, and now they are just falling off! Bought some new jeans..and lingerie..just in case That's great! Definitely good for your self-esteem, which tends to pretty much die after a harsh break up :/ Seems like you're doing good. I'm happy for you.
Author iBelieve In Symmetry Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 I'll be going back to school as a full-time student this fall,but hopefully by then I'll pretty much be over him. Yeah, once the 'real' school times kick in, I'm hoping I'll be in full-functioning mode. There's nothing worst than not being able to focus in class because of your ex -_____- Except of course, the heartbreak itself.

The weekends I spend with friends, and I do it all over again during the week. I stopped contacting him, he will realize what hes missing! Im moving on with my life! I'm jealous of people with schedules. It would really help me if I had a 'push' to do things at certain times. Besides from class, what I do with the rest of my time is pretty much up to me and that doesn't always help. But hey, at least it helps me strengthen my will power.

Hard to find people during the day when theyre all working. (that dont work in fast food) You should start working out. If you can't afford a gym membership, you can still take a jog around the neighborhood. If you CAN, then more power to you! The gym can be a good place to meet people. You can also go to a bookstore. A common misconception is that you only go to bookstore to buy books. Places like Barnes and Noble, Borders, etc. you can just sit around and read their books, no need to buy them. If you spend a whole day there, have some coffee or whatever just relax, you'll probably meet someone new (if you're approachable, that is ).
t0ri Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I'm at school till 8pm 2 days a week, so I have a lot of free time when I'm not studying or in class because I don't work. Weekends and some nights during the week I go out with my friends, and have been having soo much fun meeting new people! I've also been going jogging a lot with my dogs; I spend lots of time with my family, especially my mom cuz I live with her, and I have a 3 month old nephew and 4 month old niece that I try to see often! I spend a lot of time online, on here and watching new movies; I read, "It's Called A Breakup Because It's Broken" in one day, and have recently started reading my bible here and there. And of course, I go shopping as much as possible There's nothing worst than not being able to focus in class because of your exSo true. Ugh, hate that!

I gave up on dealing with gyms years ago, I HATE working out. Bookstores in my local area are empty during the day because people have jobs. Ill be looking at them at night tho... Im currently looking for places to jog that are a lil more populated. No sense jogging around no one. The easiest thing to do for company is to go to NYC and sit in starbucks, they are always crowded, but parking is a bitch.
Author iBelieve In Symmetry Posted June 24, 2009 Author Posted June 24, 2009 I have a lot of free time when I'm not studying or in class because I don't work. Same here. I considered getting a job for a while but honestly I'm too focused on school to do that. It would easily reach a point where I could not take all the responsibilities; there wouldn't be enough time. Someday, though!
