The Inspired.

"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." -Bertrand Russell

I'm not entirely sure who Bertrand is, but he is Amazing--in a nutshell.

I stumbled upon this quote while reading the blog of a very smart man. His blog is actually the inspiration to this blog. (Thought I'd throw it out there since I'm talking about 'inspiration' and all).

Since spring break, I have found bliss and happiness sitting on my bed in Siena doing nothing. Once in a while, I will ponder about my life's problems: school, classes, major, mother, man... Other times I will lay awake eavesdropping on my roommates' conversations about Dino. (Almost all the time I don't want to eavesdrop but these Italian walls' serve no purpose in that respect). I was afraid my bad habits from the States had carried over to Siena. Sometimes I would beat myself up for not enjoying the little sole that as peeped above the clouds over il Campo. I'm in Italy for crying out loud! Procrastination is for UCR! There is only one more week before my program ends...

But that's exactly it. There is only one more week before my program ends. Before the luxury of hanging out with Procrastination has to stop. Before I go on my European adventures and must spend every waking moment of my time wisely for planning, traveling, and... safety precautions.

I lay on my bed so grateful to have found Russel's quote, so grateful for this weekend. He has inspired me to continue to lay on this bed until the morning, exactly how I've been doing since 12 pm this afternoon. Seriously.
