Discovery channels

I am four days into living my own life with no study and no restrictions, and despite everyone telling me that this is the best time of your life, full of wonderful discoveries, I'm still waiting to experience that. I have discovered a couple of things though, the first and foremost thing being; I am SO BAD at doing nothing. I've been to work, cleaned, mopped and wiped my entire apartment, washed all my clothes and dishes, sorted through my clothes to take some to Vinnies, read a large book, watched TV, sung, watched more TV, played the guitar, and even made bread. Right now, I'm talking to myself and  watching a show named 'Cheese Slices,' (all about making cheese in France.) Far from amusing myself, I have temporarily put myself off eating cheese, and come to the conclusion that I need a padded room.

Despite not taking up as much time as I hoped it would, I was quite pleased with my bread making efforts. I thought It would come out as a tiny rock hard blob that I would be hard pressed to call a loaf, but it was totally recognisably as bread, I know it's not exactly a work of art, but I had exceeded my expectations, and I celebrated.

I celebrated a little too early actually. Discovery number two was that, although I am perfectly capable of making bread, I am less than proficient at slicing it. I mean, who really has that issue? I made it through the activating of the yeast and all the kneading and proving, only to butcher my nicely formed loaf with a knife, into some small, squished and crumbling fragments. Luckily, it still smelt and tasted like fresh bread, an illusion not ruined unless I looked at it.

Another discovery I have made is that I am apparently completely invisible and occasionally completely silent as well. Although I have been home for 5 days, my landlord called me today to ask if I was OK, because he had expected me back on Thursday. Despite my having sung and played guitar loudly with the windows and sometimes the door open, left the house multiple times, looked after their dog during a storm and done my washing in the shared laundry, I have not been noticed once. I have not even made enough noise to make them suspect that someone may have broken into my flat or the laundry. I have no idea how to feel about this, but maybe I should be looking into a new career as a burglar or international jewel thief.

I'd let you know when I made my fist successful heist, but then you'd be able to turn me in.
