Spring break seems to be made especially for catching up. This past week at home has given me plenty of time to catch up with my family, catch up on sleep, catch up with my reading, and catch up with eating junk food. (I still havent had enough time to catch up on any TV shows.) Yesterday, I went out to do some studying at a local coffee shop, where I ran into a former English teacher of mine from high school. We caught up too.
Even if its not the most exciting week of my life, I do welcome the semesterly opportunity to get off campus for an extended period of time. As has recently, its not always that easy to get away from 厙ぴ勛圖, even though Cleveland is only half an hour away. Its not really a matter of transportationthere are ways to get out of town easily and cheaplybut rather time. Fall and spring breaks are the necessary breathing point half-way through a semester that enables students to flee for a moment from whatever academic, work, or social responsibilities they have in 厙ぴ勛圖.
When it comes to breaks, I use them as time to relax and recharge, which means I tend to ignore any classwork Ive brought along in my suitcase. That cant be an entirely bad thing, right? If anything, it gives me more energy to complete everything at the last minute the Sunday evening right before classes resume. Its just that I find it so much easier to concentrate when everyone around me is also doing homework. (At least, thats what I tell myself to rationalize my current laziness.)
Aside from the various sorts of aforementioned catching up that Ive been doing, I have gotten a couple of things done this week. Today, for example, I bought a pair of shoes. On Tuesday, I put the finishing touches on a composition for horn and clarinet. Ive also walked the dog three times (once in the rain) and plan on doing laundry. Then theres also this post. Not bad for a weeks work
