breathing

the term break is finally here! i have a love-hate relationship with term breaks, especially this last term break that i will be enjoying as a student. only half a semester left before the good life ends.

the term break is an ingenious idea. people like my dad wonder why can’t school just carry on so that it’ll end earlier. just like how he thinks we should have more classes every week instead of a three day week so that it’ll shorten the semester. of course he doesn’t know that the current workload and timetable is enough to kill if i were to conscientiously do my work. by the time half the semester passes i’m usually so tired i need a break or literally die.

but term break isn’t all fun and play. i’ve been so keyed up with deadlines i couldn’t sit back and relax yesterday, i just couldn’t. i performed much better today, slept most of the day away, did some leisure reading and watched plenty of dramas online. guess i have to allow myself some breathing space before i plunge into deep waters again.

this time next week i’ll be bumming away in melbourne. hanging out, sightseeing, drinking, having fun. for the sake of that i think i should work slightly harder this week, eh?
