Vacation

It's holidays. Time for three months of pure relaxation and no stress. I must admit, I've very much been looking forward to this moment. Exams were such a struggle and they really did require a different kind of perseverance and discipline from me with regards to focusing on my studies. I was easily tempted to drift into a daydream which usually concerned me, along with others, doing all the things I had planned to do during my holiday such as reading, writing, praying, partying (who would have thought those two would sit next to each other in a sentence? Cheeky!) etc. However, I find that I have fallen into the same trap as many others who eagerly anticipate the holidays; I've suddenly forgotten about all the über cool things I had in store for myself. Some of these über cool things included punching a homophobe or sexist pig, becoming a librarian or deciding to ditch my studies and teach English to children in South East Asia (I'd love that though). Obviously, these are a bit of a joke and I did and still do have big plans for the holidays. For now though, I've resorted to resting on my laurels, positioned in front of the TV, reminiscing on the semester and the wonderful time I had in London a week earlier. How sad?

Well, at least I have an internship lined up for myself and the prospect of learning how to drive. Very few people have such opportunities in today's competitive job market, ruthless post-recession and dire economic climate. I'm also planning on visiting my brother who studies in a city two hours away from my home city. This is not work. It's more leisure to be fair which I do enjoy and deserve after the year I've had!

I know I have things to do but it's just the interim period between the actual doing and the thinking-of-doing which is killing me. I guess I could give myself a bit of a break and enjoy some downtime before hitting the grind. Hmm, that said, guess I should set an auto-tune for this week's episode of 'Toddlers & Tiaras'.

Ciao for now! :0
