My fantasy answer to that would be: I'd be back in Florence, sitting at a bar drinking cappuccino and watching the tourists come out (which is actually really fun). Then I'd spend the day trekking around the city. I love that place. I miss it.
My realistic answer would be: I wouldn't be going to class or showing the house today, I'd be sitting here working on my thesis because that *really* needs to be done... I'm so poorly motivated!!
I would want to go visit my mom, and have a day of shopping, movie watching and talking. Or just hanging around her house. I've been away at college for too long!
Ok, I have a free minute so I'll answer my own question. If I could do anything today, this would be it:
I would have slept in till around 10. Got up, had some breakfast (healthy, of course!) and then headed to the gym (bc I'm really in the mood to go right now and I'm jonesin' here at my desk).
Ok, now for present tense...
I go for a walk. I's a nice 70 degrees, of course (since this is MY day), so I only have to wear my light corderoy jacket. My hair looks great, and the light breeze does not mess it up. Suddenly, I happen upon this quaint little used book store that I've never seen before. I go in, and it's a combination smell of old hardbacks and strong coffee (that's brewing next to the counter). I spend a few hours walking up and down the aisles, and I find at least 10 books that I've been dying to read, some of them first-editions. I go to the coutner to pay for them, and they only come to 10 bucks all together! I find a comfy overstuffed chair in the corner, pour myself a cup of coffee, and read for several hours.
After a while, I head back home. My boyfriend is waiting for me with a bouquet of yellow roses. He takes me out to dinner, and then to a hot club where we can get our groove on (in reality, my bf doesn't dance). After we're exhausted from dancing, we are magically transported to Venice, where we take a leisurely gondola ride while being serenaded by the peasntry. Next we stop by Egypt, to view the pyramids in the moonlight (we happen uppon a secret entrance around the side of the pyramid, and make amazing archaeological discoveries). At the end of the night we return home, make passionate love, and fall asleep in each other arms.
In reality, I would be happy to be at home, reading a book that I've read several times before, curled up on the couch with my kitten on my lap.
I would just hang out with my dog, go to the gym. Play games. Nothing exciting but here's the good part. The whole time there wouldn't be 18 other things I'd be thinking about that I SHOULD be doing instead.
I definitely would have slept in, skipped my 2 acedemic classes and just went to my Pilates class and my dance class tonight and not have any home work to do. Oh and I would have a ton of mexican food and not be stressed about anything.
I would be visiting my mom. Alternatively, if I could magically have all the motivation, I would work continuously at getting all my backed-up tasks done instead of staring at the wall.
Wake up at 8am, go golfing, eat Thai food for dinner, go shopping, go to jujitsu class, eat a small dinner, eat a big dessert, watch TV, read a book, go to bed with Hubby.
I am so with pilatesgrl. I'd be on a fabulous beach, surrounded by all my favorite friends, new and old, and there would be no such thing as melanoma or wrinkles!
