The weekend after our last week of school I made a to do list. Things I wanted to get done over break or things that I've been meaning to do for a while. Well I had two days off the first week and I got those things done in those two days.
So now what?
I feel like my creative brains need a rest. They've been working overtime for the past three and a half months and finding creative things to do right now is just not happening.
The one thing I found creative (and productive) was spending four hours cleaning out my room. Yes it really did take this long (apparently leaving this for four months tends to have a big impact). When I clean my room I'm one of those people who find stuff that I forgot I had or that I've been looking for for ages. Then I get distracted by that which is probably why it takes a lot longer. For instance, I found my season one of The OC which I love to re-watch from time to time. So essentially I found myself something to do for another day or so.
I find it really hard to relax. When I have a day off, I have to be doing something or I feel like I waste a whole day. I really wish I could reverse that feeling because there's nothing better than doing absolutely nothing for an entire day.
The thing I love about Christmas break is just having time to spend with friends and family that I may not get to do a lot of during the semester. After the recent shooting in Newton I feel it's even more important to visit family and friends. I find myself lucky to live in Canada where stuff like that doesn't really happen. I feel sick to my stomach knowing that so many innocent children were killed that day and that some families have to deal with it right before Christmas. It really goes to show that any day can be your last. As much as I love to bicker with my family, I know at the end of the day we all love each other. It really isn't hard to say those three words when you really mean it so take time this season and let everyone know how much you appreciate them. A hug and an I love you can go a long way.
RIP to the victims of the Sandy Elementary shooting. Condolences to all the families and friends who have to suffer the loss of their loved ones.
