A Break Like No Other Breaks Before, But Many To Come

This entry is prompted by a friend accusing me of not doing anything constructive and should organize events since I have so much free time.

I love my life, but I am finding for the very first time, I actually have to choose who to see and whom I really cannot see simply because I have too little time, but too many to see. Imagine what's going to happen when I start working.
Treasure your time with your family and friends, job and responsibility is knocking on our doors.
Wishing you all a very happy and fruitful 2008.
