How do you enjoy it?

No - every free minute is assigned to something - I actually descide to waste time on "what I should be doing" by doing everything else.
the split second between taking off my socks and going to bed, and falling asleep.
Until recently I had very little free time. It was either spent at rehearsal or doing homework. But school's winding down for me now and the play I'm in has been performed, so I have quite a bit of free time.
I use it to read and write, mostly. I'll either read a novel or the news online, and write short stories when I feel the urge. I'll play video games, too, which I do more often with friends than when I'm alone.
If you dont enjoy your time (both at work & home) then things are pretty screwy - this is especially the case for people in college, I cant fathom how someone could pay to study a subject but not enjoy what they are learning. The same goes for work too, if you dont like the job you do do something about, sure there are always ****ty days when you are just fed up & dont want to be there - but these days are always out-numbered for me by the days that things are going well & I'm walking around smiling like an idiot all day long.

I certainly enjoy both my study and my job, and my various activities that I do inbetween that. Freetime would have to be the unscheduled time, so I can't count karate etc, and any unscheduled time means I sould be reading for my next class, or writing on the semester project.
I love it though, even if I very rarely have not got anything to do. I used to have to prioritise which homework I had time for!
Nah I think you can definitely count your karate in as your free time. After all it is certainly not a requirement right? It is just one of the things you choose to do in your free time - same as I could use some of free-time currently to be doing karate instead of watching The Alamo -all just different uses of our free-time

I have lots of free time... so i fill it up with lots of other things.

I have a lot of free time nowadays. It's not all that though, and I find that even though I have lots of free time, I plan a lot of activities in it. Which is good, although the unscheduled time is pretty sweet and awesome too, but that's also because I am sweet and awesome. Or at least I just convinced myself I am. It sometimes doesn't come out all that well.
This is free time for instance it is sunday evening and I try to always have this time off for just random activities. Which works so far. although I now realize I completely forgot to call someone and it is too late now, so it'll have to wait till tomorrow. Aha too much free time and you start forgetting responsibilities.

Well, I find myself dissagreeing. When I was in school, life was more simply divided between school and freetime. Now I have so many things to administrate between studies, work, social obligations, volunteering, and of course my sports. As much as I love to do those things, I think it's safe to say they are all part of making my life stressfull, because they all have to fit in a schedule. Therefore, freetime has come to mean, for me, the time where I do not HAVE to do something. And yes, I do feel I have to go to karate because otherwise I will be behind for the next lesson etc.Originally Posted by kilted exile
When I do decide to take time for myself, I consider it my free time from my hectic life.
It's really semantics though.
Free time what is tis free time, there is almost always books to read, people to annoy/stalk/ collect. list of things I havent done to do.. and if all that fails cooking and cleaning, whihc never seems to be done.
Bisactly! I love my job, I could live at my job... ok maybe I love it a wee bit too much, but it makes me favourite employee for extra ohours whihc means more money whihc means more books so I am happy#!

What is this thing you call 'free time'? I must try it sometime...
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
yep. my life is full of free time. Those are the wonders of staying up all night- you have way more free time than if you sleep.
haha!
Freetime is the time when I
1. spend in the internet, specially LitNet
2. watch a good movie
3. shoot playmobil stories
4. play chess with a friend
5. stroll around in a green area (in Rio, there's Jardim Botânico)
6. go skating
7. go to a bookstore, or to a toystore ... or stroll in a shopping center, and have an ice cream
8. go to cinema
9. go eat in a restaurant
First four of them I can't live without, and they happen mainly on weekends (but playmo I can do during the week, at night, it's good ...);
## 5-7 I shouldn't live without, but .. well.
8 & 9 I never do, nowadays, because of lack of money.
This is free time, for heaven's sake!~
I have plenty of free time. I need a hobby.
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.
