One thing I learnt rather fast when I arrived here is the strong sense of time keeping that is prevalent in this society. Everywhere I went I noticed people were always rushing somewhere it does not matter the time of the day. I mean people run to catch the bus/train to work and in the evening do the reverse journey!
Is there anytime to relax?
One of my plans this year was to take time out and simply relax - something I have missed since I came here if it was not classes it was work and looking for jobs! My schedule was so packed that the only time I relaxed honestly was when in bed. Matters are even worse considering that I am not a party animal. My idea of a good evening does not involve loud music and a rowdy club. This new year for the first time after a long time I went out and was the last one to leave the dance floor.
The concerns I have comes flooding in when I read in the papers people who look successful yet have struggles with maintaining a balance between their careers and lives.
Chris Rock is in town - sold out, but that's not for me. Someone told me Musq Soulchild will be in town (Jazz Cafe) I hope I can make arrangements.
