life’s not a paragraph

while spring may not be here yet, spring break certainly is and i could not be more excited about it! this week has been long awaited this semester. there has been so much going on between classes, homework, alternative winter break and post-graduation thoughts that this semester has really flown by (i actually cannot believe that it is already halfway through march), but that also means that i have been going non-stop for the past two months. when last week rolled around, i realized how much i really just needed a break. granted, i am still going to be doing homework ( i have quite a bit to do if i don’t want to feel behind hen school rolls around again), but i don’t have to be doing anything else. i can read my book (i’ve just started the girl who played with fire, the second book in the stieg larsson series and i am seriously hooked). i can watch tv. i can sleep. ugh, sleep.

the break from the normal routine is really what i need. and since i have com home for the first weekend of the week, i already feel a sense of relief and relaxation. i am sad that i am not participating in alternative spring break this year, but i think it’s just going to be nice to take this time for myself, as selfish as that may be.
