Anything to do in this game? Options

[Accidentally The...]

How do you guys pass the days by? It just seems to me like there's not a whole lot to do when you're not rearranging your storage and rucksack. There seem to be only so many things picked up off the ground that the villagers like, and getting heart levels seems to take forever.

I mean, I played all the way to summer on my girl file, but does the game pick up? It seems like a long, long wait for some things to happen (I guess it's part of why I'm not too fond of the handheld titles).
