Shaefer Kirby's Definition of Leisure (Assignment 1)




This is a picture of me (and my dog Gunner) playing the guitar. I purchased my guitar about two years ago and began teaching myself to play. To me, playing guitar IS Leisure. I almost always grab my guitar to take a break from homework, projects, and studying. In a way, playing allows me to escape the stresses and obligations of school. When I'm not hanging out with friends, most of my personal free time is consumed by learning new chord progressions, picking/strumming patterns, and/or new songs. Leisure is setting aside time to do something (an activity) you enjoy - something that sets your mind at ease and allows the individual to escape from the obligations of everyday life.
