Today, after getting started on cleaning my aquarium, I am wondering: for how many students is this really a break? That's what we're calling it, right? "Reading Break"? On the VIU website, under "Important Dates", it's actually called "Study Days". That's what it's mostly going to be for me. As usual for this time of year, I have a pretty decent stack of books I should have read by now (see below). One of my profs was joking about all his students rushing off to the mountain after class to ski, but I doubt many of us really have the time!
Besides reading, I'm probably going to be doing a lot of knitting. My grandmother has been trying to pass on her skills (German style), and I've been working really hard to impress her. She seems to have a lot of faith in me, because she has me starting with a sweater! So this is what I'll be doing between chapters of Historical Fiction, and Literary Criticism, and writing poetry for my poetry workshop class.
If you're doing something besides catching up on readings, and researching your term papers, comment below, and let us know.
Tech week for "We Too". We open March 3rd so I'll be at the school all week ... and weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteAs an animation student, there's not much studying or reading to do; just drawing! I'm hoping to do homework asap and relax the rest of the break.
ReplyDeleteMy general policy is to read until my book puts me to sleep - which can be an hour or several depending on the book - and then spend about half an hour playing video games. And then as the week passes and my determination fades, the video game sessions get longer and longer.
ReplyDeleteSo this has been my Mass Effect Renegade playthrough break.
