WOW! I’ve never sit and think about it!!!! This is hard!!! Well …. I don’t usually spent a lot of time watching TV during the week because I go to school two days a week (Tues & Thurs) from 1 until 9:30pm, and sometimes I work Mon, Wed and sometimes the weekends! But since the economy is really baddddd, I don’t have the same hours of work as I used to have before! So now I only work a few days whenever they call me from the store (Bloomingdales). Since I have more time to be home, now I spent my time watching Spanish Soap Operas at night. I LOVE THEM!! ;-). Especially one that it’s called ‘‘Without Breasts There is No Paradise.” And a few others! During the day I don’t spent that much time watching TV, lets say about 2 to 3 hrs, and during the night about 4 to 5 hrs! And if I’m not too sleepy I keep on watching movies, documentaries, and so on until 2 or 3am! a total of 45-50hrs.
So most of the time fam are never here, except from grandma who recently came from Colombia to live with us! I am very happy to have her here with me, but to be honest I don’t spent that much time with her! :-( why? Because I’m toooo busy watching TV, surfing and chatting on the internet or just on phone with my friends! Wow!! SAD!!! Most of the time when I’m home my time goes by really quick, because after I do my chores and homework I don’t find anything else to do! I think that most of my time is being spent on the internet! I don’t really do interesting things on the internet, I just love going to shoes and clothing stores online :-) well and also I use the MSN messenger a lot! Approximately I spent 5 to 8 hrs on the internet in a whole day, a total of 50hrs.
Shopping? Uhmmm well not like I used to! I think it’s because as I am more mature now, I have more responsibilities, and so my money has to be spent in bills and rent, and not on shoes or cloths! But sometimes I do an exception, and I call my girls and we go shopping! I LOVE LOVE LOVE shoes!! Especially high heels, so whenever I get paid, I get myself a pair of heels :-)! So I don’t really spend more than 2 hrs when I go shopping.
My favorite activities are dancing, going to the movies, spending time with my family and boyfriend, Going out on the evening for drinks and entertainment, fishing, sleep, eat, and many more…! But unfortunately some of these activities are not activities anymore for me! Because I don’t even TRY on doing them anymore! For example expending time with my family and boyfriend is something I obviously do, but not as much as a should! Also fishing, something I did a lot with my grandpa when I lived in Colombia, not anymore in here! Dancing which is my favorite… uhmmm yes sometimes whenever there’s money to go out clubbing. Eating, sleeping, and movies? I also do them everyday and movies almost every Sunday with my b/f :-)
Many people (including myself) spend their days packed with activities, but earn very little because they are not concentrated in the appropriate things. It's a sad reality!!!
This is an interesting website I found, which explains how men and women spend leisure time
