I am enjoying the awesomeness of March holidays. March holidays are awesome because pleasure can be experienced better after pain – it comes right after the end of exams and academic year. For the last three weeks of March, you don’t have to worry about school (except for one day – Open House) and there will be no holiday homeworks to remind you of the pain either. So all this means, three whole weeks of dong anything you want, unless your parents have other plans.
So here I am, lazing around doing hardly anything. My holiday routine has slightly differed. I wake up somewhere between 10-11:00 am and finish my breakfast by 12:30 – 1:00pm. Then I watch TV or open my laptop or read a book or play guitar or talk on phone. Then I have my lunch at around 3:30. And once I’m done, the same thing goes on for sometime until my mom comes home and I am given some work. Then I take an evening shower and do my prayers and after sometime I go to eat dinner. Then I watch another movie or we may go out somewhere or we will do something that would keep us awake till midnight. I only go to bed at around 1:00 or 2:00am.
But after sometime, you get bored of this routine. Then you grow desperate. And you go out to get some fresh air. At least, that is what happens to me. But whatever happens, you enjoy the holiday.
Laziness
One of the bad affects of these holidays is that it makes you very lazy and you will find it hard to get back to your school routine. Wait, you need to know what exactly laziness is – not that you don’t know what it is. Let’s put it this way – The phenomenon of not wanting to do anything that will require your brains or your skills and efforts is called laziness or simply, being lazy.
So what I wanted to say is that some people become very lazy that they don’t even feel like blogging – a good example is me. This is because you have to use some amount of brains or little effort to just open the laptop and Word document and then start typing what you like. When you are in the hands of the devil of laziness, you won’t even feel like doing simple things like blogging. There is no escape from this devil, until you listen to your heart – and NOT your mind – and with will power and determination, you over come it. But sometimes, even a kick or a yell from your Mom or Dad would do to wake you up from this spell – or even the thought of the day the school re-opens.
Getting back to the subject, I also found out during this holiday, that some of my friends were quite unfortunate. The 9th and 10th graders don’t get to enjoy the three weeks of holidays like how we do. 9th has bridge classes and 10th had their exams going on still! All these people get is the last week of March for some relaxation. At first, I laughed looking at them. Then it hit me that I will be in the same position next year. I felt sorry for them and didn’t think of that anymore after.
One thing I couldn’t do this holidays was hanging out with my best buddies and it is a shame because we have been planning about this for a long time (nearly months) and it did not happen due to various problems.
There is something that I have been looking forward to this March – The shifting of house. I’ll soon blog on this.
So far I have been having a great time. But what keeps me worried is the thought of April 3rd – the day when school re-opens. I would do anything to postpone that date because it is just another week or so away. However, I make sure that I live in the present and enjoy the present and every moment of this holiday because it will never come again.
