I spent two months pining for something to do and two weeks wishing I had more time to enjoy the time I just wasted away pining.
So I asked myself what I would have wanted to have done in two months of free time, and the answer is not so much that I would have done anything additional or anything less, but that I had stopped worrying about the next thing on my to-do list. I wish I had simply basked in my liberation and satisfaction of leaving my [imprisoning] job. Instead, I spent two months worrying about the next thing I wanted to do before the actual next thing I'm going to do. Perhaps this was a warning; that I should stop thinking about the finances of school (since the damage has been done) and just focus on the experience of the now.
