PLAYING VIDEO GAMES

Back in college, my typical day went like this.  I’d wake up early, but not too early.  Maybe around 9:30.  Then I’d take the train to school and attend 2 or maybe 3 classes.  It depended on what day it was.  Sometimes, on the way home from school, I’d stop by a temporary staffing agency to see if they had any work for me.  If they did, I fit it in between classes and everything else.  If not, I went home and played video games for a while.  I’d make a few calls to my friends, saw how they were doing or if they were doing anything later.  We’d make plans and then I’d start on my homework.  Whenever I got done, I’d eat dinner and watch TV for a while.  I know it wasn’t the most exciting life, but I enjoyed it for the most part.  I had more free time on my hands than I did in high school and much more than I would once I graduated and went out into the real world.  I still lived with my parents, which wasn’t the greatest thing in the world, but I didn’t have to pay for rent or groceries or anything like that.  I saved up a lot of money.  Video games didn’t grow on trees after all.
