Sitting Down

I love sitting at my desk by the window in my apartment. I've set it up with a cozy chair, a little plant, and good lighting. It's where I do all my studying and it just feels like my productive corner. When I want to kick back and relax, I sprawl on my couch with a blanket, though I tend to slouch and have to remind myself to straighten up.

Unfortunately, yes. Because of my program, I spend hours sitting in front of a computer coding or analyzing data. To tell you the truth, I know it's not great for my health, so I try to get up every hour and stretch. But sometimes when I'm in the zone, I completely lose track of time.

It depends on what I'm doing! If I'm working on something interesting, I'm wide awake. To tell you the truth, if I'm in a long lecture or reading a boring textbook, I definitely start to nod off, especially after lunch.

Oh, all the time! To tell you the truth, in Vietnam, it's super common to sit on the floor, especially during family meals. We'd lay out a mat and everyone would kick back around the food and chat. I wouldn't fidget as a kid when sitting properly either. It was cozy and I kind of miss it, though I tend to slouch less when I'm properly engaged in conversation.
