A day of freedom!

There is no school today. I am sure there is homework I could be doing, but I am not wanting to yet. I find myself curious though, are we so busy as a culture becasue we dont know what to do with our spare time? As I have continued to grow throught his life I have noticed often when I have free time I don't quite know what to do. I paint, or go for a walk, but that only takes so long. I am curious as to what you guys think. Do you ever feel awkward when you have free time?
