20 minutes of doing nothing !
Every morning right after I wake up, before I do my homework, and before I go to bed, I take about five to ten minutes doing nothing just to relax because I stress a lot for even a very small thing and to make sure I did not forget anything because I tend to do that a lot of times. Therefore I thought twenty minutes of doing nothing would be piece of cake. Ok, I was wrong. I started to do my twenty minutes of nothing at my part time job. I am a cashier at a dry-cleaner and from 2o’clock – 4o’clock; it is not busy at all.
Five minutes passed really fast, and I am sure I did not do anything, not even thinking. Then ten minutes in I started to think about what does the professor mean by twenty minutes of nothing? Am I doing it right? Was I supposed to be standing up, sitting down, or lying on my bed, have my eyes open or closed? Because I am watching people pass by, I am thinking about my best friend’s 21st birthday present, what am I going to eat, how am I going to write about my twenty minutes of doing nothing? Oh well.
I found very interesting to see the people who were passing by the cleaners. All of them looked like they were being chased by something. There is seven-eleven on the left side and a teriyaki place on the right side of the dry cleaner I am working at. Some were grabbing teriyaki for their late lunch or some stopped by seven-eleven to get some snacks. I could not see, at least for twenty minutes, people who did not order teriyaki to-go or shop at seven eleven for more than five minutes. Wow… everybody seems so tired, stressed and busy. “c’est la vie”
I looked at my cell phone and … yay four minutes left! At that moment I thought twenty minutes of nothing/ thinking is piece of cake. But that last four minutes felt like four hours! When I looked at the time, thinking I am done, it showed three minutes and forty five seconds were remaining. Meaning only fifteen seconds passed by! OMG. This if how my twenty minutes of nothing passed. I realized again, that when we do something or be with someone we like, feels like there is not enough time. But when we do something or be with someone we do not like that much, there is too much time. I think it just depends on oneself how he or she does, meaning even though one is doing something or is meeting with someone he or she does not like, just try to enjoy that time. One will have to do that or be with that person anyways so just have fun!
