What I really need is two extra days in the week, one between Thursday and Friday, and one between Sunday and Monday, giving me a four-day weekend.
If I had this, I would travel more (weekend getaways are hard for me to pull off, because as an observant Jew, I don't travel between sunset Friday and nightfall Saturday). No question. I love to travel, I just so rarely have time, even for a quick buzz out of the city....
Also, I would totally write more. My single biggest regret about being in grad school is the lack of time to do my own writing. This novel is taking forever to get through!!!
And also, who am I kidding, I'd probably get it on with my girlfriend a little extra....
