Fall Break

This blog is a little bit late, but I decided it would be more valuable to talk about how I stayed on track during break rather than just my plans for break. I got the week off work and spent my break in Tahoe for my best friend’s birthday, so trying to do anything revolving around school was going to be difficult anyway. In the blog I had originally wrote, my plans exceeded the possibilities of my situation. While I did take the drive up as an opportunity to read some Hamlet, I didn’t exactly work on memorizing my speech as I had planned, and given the fact I was in the mountains all week, I didn’t update my blog as much as I’d hoped. Having only Hamlet to read for the entire week did really help me though in that I have a better understanding of it now because I had to read it over and over. I’m proud of what I accomplished over break being that I firmly believe breaks during school are exactly that, breaks, and that school work needs to stay very far away from my vacation time. I had been extremely stressed with school and working 30-40 hours a week, and having a week off from both sourced of stress gave my body and mind a much needed rest. I firmly believe that had I involved anymore school work into my break, it would’ve taken away the serenity and not truly been a break.
