Absolutely Nothing

I'm a game show fan so I asked this question as if it were a Match Game question:
"If, you had absolutely nothing to do for a whole day, you would spend that day ____________."

Our first contestant is Micheal McAlexander. Micheal is an Assistant Professor of Mass Communication for the Department of Mass Communication. He simply said, "Read a book or play video games." I asked about the types of books and games he would delve himself into during the day. He said that his choice of video game would be World of Warcraft, the popular online game that has drawn millions into a world of fantasy. "I'm a World of Warcraft crazy person", McAlexander said. As for the book he would go with something "science-fictiony" or fantasy like "Lord of the Rings" as that is his favorite genre. That would be his day.

Our next contestant is Eric Nixon. Eric, originally from Baltimore, is currently a sophomore at Frostburg State University, who is majoring in Mass Communication. He had two main objectives. One was getting caught up on work. Both work for school and work outside of school. The other was to watch television, a lot of television. When asked what type of television he preferred he said Food Network. Anything Food Network and Eric is on it faster than an Iron Chef on a secret ingredient. "I love food." Need more be said?

Our final contestant is Mary Biscoe. Mary is a junior who hails from Southern Maryland in the Calvert County area. We caught up with Mary in the gym. Mary had three things she would do on her day of nothing. One thing was to go to the gym, after all exercise is key. Then she would get caught up on work, which seems to be a favorite thing to do among our contestants. Finally, and the most important thing she would do is "get caught up on some well deserved sleep."

So there were are three contestants and what they'd do on a day of nothingness.

However, no one gave the definitive answer (which would have made my job harder). The answer is hidden in the question and was my first response when I saw the question:

"If, (I) had absolutely nothing to do for a whole day, (I) would spend that day doing absolutely nothing."
