I'm having a little trouble making the adjustment to free time.  I find that my tempo is still "move fast" even when I don't have to be.  I had a few petty errands to do yesterday and I found I was doing them in the same tempo I would if I had to "go home and study" or "go to class by 6:30."  I consciously made myself ease back.  One errand I did was to pick up Dec.'s Wired.  Usually I get it much earlier, but from prior to Thanksgiving until Monday night I did nothing extraneous.  Of course, I'd like to see the new Star Trek film.[1]  Last night, I just did not want to go to bed.  It was as if going to bed when I am "free" is a waste of time.  I stayed up until almost midnight.  School nights its between 9:30 and 10:30.  I know 9:30 sounds early, but I usually read for an hour until about 10:30.  If I go to bed at 10:30 I try not to read. 
Well, more later.  Elizabeth

[1] Star Trek: Insurrection was released on December 11th which was based on the Star Trek: The Next Generation TV series.
