Well, that’s that! Another semester down, and this guy is
officially a junior!
It used to be that when a break came along, I did not
cherish it. I wanted more than anything to continue my classes, keep moving,
keep going. I could never bring myself to read for fun, because I felt that any
time that wasn't spent studying was time wasted. That’s not really the case
now, but I’m still torn. I look on the ensuing break as a chance to breathe, but
I still look at it as an opportunity to study what I want to study. Reading for
“fun” pretty much means reading textbooks or edited volumes, as opposed to reading ahead in the textbooks for the coming semester. I might even let myself
play a video game here and there. (I do fear playing Skyrim however, as it may
put my relationship with my girlfriend and school in jeopardy.)
