This has been an odd season – I resist calling it winter. I think we may have had a couple days of winter in there somewhere, but it looks like we're going to move from autumn straight into spring. The leaves haven't started to grow yet, but there are snowdrops blossoming in front of my parents' doorstep, and a pair have ducks have moved into our pond!I can't believe we're halfway through the semestre already! That's right, we are! It always sneaks up on me when I don't have midterms, but I've been able to count the weeks this year by massage therapy appointments...
Don't worry readers, I'm alright, but over the winter break I hit some black ice while driving up the North Island Highway, and I drove my dad's Cherokee off a cliff. The vehicle didn't roll, but I fell about one hundred feet into a ravine! I was lucky to have my iPod with me to use as a flashlight (ha ha), because I had to climb back up the cliff in darkness to hitch a ride to the hospital.
What do students do for winter break? I was on my way up island to work on a salmon farm. The magical combo of living with my parents and doing labour on my time off is the only way I can stay off student loans! I may take an actual break for the reading break though. What will you be doing?
Umm whoa! Hope you're okay! Glad to see you're still alive and blogging o.o My winter break was pretty laid back... didn't do much, visited the folks, lazed around. Looking forward to reading break!!! :D
ReplyDeleteLaid back is how the breaks should be!
ReplyDeleteI plan on doing as little as possible, although that plan is already taking a walk away from. I have meetings to attend, readings to finish, assignments to compile, a newspaper to deliver, and somewhere in there I will have to make time for friends and all of that good stuff. I like your blog Nabil.

I think I'll dedicate at least a day to non-stop gaming but I'm going to try and get one of my major essays written, do some minor assignments.
ReplyDeleteKeep blogging!
