Jul. 11th, 2012 07:27 pmSometimes when I have a day off I choose to use it by staying in my pyjamas and staying in my room with nothing but my laptop. I leave the curtains drawn and only move from my bed to pee.
I have the right to do this with my day off. I have the right to enjoy solitude and taking a break from potentially-uncomfortable social interactions. I have the right to just lie here in a t-shirt and underwear and never decide which shoes to wear. I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm not trying to insult my host family.
There is no reason for them to feel uncomfortable if I chose to stay in my room today and not even come out to see what's for dinner. There is also no reason for *me* to feel uncomfortable about spending a full day watching Avatar and Drag U. This day was given to me as a free day, so we don't have any real obligations to each other. I understand that I had the right to come out and talk to everyone, but I feel that I also have the right to stay right here.
I hope that they understand that too when I rejoin them at breakfast tomorrow.
If they do send someone to knock and ask why I haven't come out or if I want dinner, I'll smile and answer that I don't feel like getting dressed today, so I'm just relaxing in here. I shouldn't be ashamed of this.
There.
