Well, I don't know about you, but for those who had to spend their spring break doing school work, I feel for you. I was one of those students who had to enlist a lot of internal discipline to actually sit at my computer for days while the weather behind my window promised me a life of sweet freedom. I spent days working on two research proposals for my senior sociology classes. I must say that I felt quite miserable there for most of the week.
But I had relief. I was to take a weekend get-away trip to visit some family. With my eyes set on the light at the end of the tunnel, I worked and slaved over my school assignments. Each day I had a work goal that I tried to meet in order to prevent me from burning out too quickly. The end goal, which was to complete everything by Thursday afternoon was not met, but I came very close to meeting it. At some point you just have to stop working & set everything aside for a little while & not think about it.
I found great peace when the time finally came for me to enjoy the last bit of spring break & it was amazing. The best 3 1/2 days I've had in many many months. I didn't think about homework during my short break. Nor did I bring any along. These few days were just what my body & mind needed.
Now it is back to reality & I am continuing my hard work on my studies. Graduation is around the corner in less than 2 months. That makes me want to race for it. As I realize that I am so glad this week is over I am reminded that only 7 Mondays remain in the semester. I'm almost there! :D (Just think of how positive my outlook on life would be with another break.)
