S: Do you ever wonder what people do out of work, in their leisure time?
A: Do you?
S: There is no way of telling. They do not share as much as I do, they do not recall as much detail as I can and they do not know how to tell a story like I do.
A: Once again, we have the enumeration of superiority and exceptionalism. I trust you know that you are a braggart? In any case, do tell. What did you do in your free time today?
S: Here is the list:
- Going to the University of the Arts London to see the graduate Design show.
- Time with my girlfriend.
- Shopping.
- Planning of leisure time, scheduling of volunteering and work (diary management).
- Dinner at home.
- Reading The New Scientist.
- Reading ‘Great Tales from English History’ by Robert Lacey.
- Language learning through poetry, stories, dialogues and newspaper articles in Spanish, French, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.
- Writing two entries on my blog, one in the morning after waking up, one in the night time before going to sleep.
- Reading psychology articles online.
- Drawing a digital artwork and then sharing it online.
- Watching videos online.
- Contacting friends on WhatsApp.
- Reading newspapers.
A: Times?
S: Six in the morning until a quarter past eleven at night.
A: And now what?
S: Goodnight.
