Cost Of Liesure

I don't read anymore. At least that is how I feel even though I keep going through pages and pages every day. I am so caught up in the business of learning that sometimes I worry that I have lost the ability to get pleasure out of reading for the sake of reading itself and not with the intention to learn something. School gets so busy but when it gets too busy to even enjoy a book it makes me wonder if my time is well spent here. If this is not the place where I can read I wonder where else it could be. All I hear is loud music every where with chants of 'Drink..Drink..Drink'. I hear screaming girls and when I peep out of my window I can see them passed out on the lawns. So may be it is me who is at the wrong place.

I dream about reading a book by the lake side in the valley beside the snow capped mountain. But I do not have the money to afford that kind of leisure. (To put it in my newly learned business jargon - my 'opportunity cost' of leisure is too high.) So I need to learn not read, so that I can earn not money but leisure. In that case may be being here is not very unreasonable. Is it?!
