     I'm very surprised to read this topic. For me, not planning for my leisure time is natural and I thought that everyone doesn't plan anything at all for their leisure time. When I have leisure time on weekends or Friday's night, I feel very comfortable because I can use my time without caring nothing. I don't mind the next day's lectures at my university, nor don't have to review the lectures of the day. I usually go out for dinner with my friends on Friday's night. On Friday's night, we feel very comfortable. We have a small test every Friday, so after finishing the test, we feel very relaxed.
     As I have said above, we usually go out for dinner on Friday's night. We don't decide where to go even until we find some good restaurant. We don't like to go to the same restaurant twice however the dishes are good. On weekdays we usually eat at the same restaurant near my university and order the same menu. On Friday's night we want to eat something new, so we go to a different restaurant everytime without planning anything. Then, how we decide where to go? Most of the time, we just drive around our town and if we find some good restaurant which appeal to us, we decide to eat there. In other cases, one of us has already checked a good restaurant in some hometown magazines and recommend us to go to the restaurant.
     Recently some company build a new big shopping center near my university. The shopping center is so large that we can do most of the things there. For example, if we go there after nine at night, we can see movies at low price. When we have especially nothing to do, if we go there, we can enjoy anyway.
     Of caurse when we travel to some remote area, we carefully plan where to go and how long we stay. We go snowboarding every winter, though we couldn't go last winter because practicing of anatomy was so hard. When we plan we need to take many things into consideration. The most difficult problem is when we can go snowboarding. We usually go with seven or eignt people, so to adjust everyone's time is not easy at all. Some of us must go to their parents' home, and others must participate in their club activities. So we must plan so carefully that every of us can enjoy the travelling.
     In conclusion, I prefer not to plan for my usually leisure time for weekends. But when we travel to somewhere else, we must plan carefully. If we don't plan carefully for the travel, our regret might be larger. We can't go snowboarding so often, at most once or twice a year. On the other hand, when we fail to enjoy the weekend's leisure time, if we wait for only seven days, we can enjoy the holiday again. I think this is why we don't plan carefully for the weekend's leisure time, whereas we plan carefully for our snowboarding.
