A break, anyone?

[aqueousmist]

When I go on one those crazy highs where I say the randomest, craziest, uneducated things, it's a given that I fall to a low a few hours later. It's awful. And then I feel all existential, and then angst a little

I've not particularly paid attention to anything to do with school either - though this is perhaps due more to procrastination than freedom. After all, I do have assessment tasks next week. *facepalm*

You know what they say, Jen - one never stops learning at any point in one's life. But really, that kind of cycle will probably come to its inevitable end after university, should one choose to attend university at all. There's always that thought of "it'll all end after university, only six-odd more years of education left! I can make it!" But despite all of that, it's an enjoyable experience.

I've been staring at your layout for the past five minutes. My first thought when I saw it was "it has pink on it!". The greys are really quite nice, though. *thumbs up* Customisation of anything, really, is love. :)

Assessment tasks in Year 12 scare me. Only because they count. Best of luck with yours, though!

True, one never stops learning, but I'd rather learn about things I have a passion for. I enjoy Art, because I understand it, but with biology, I have to spend twice as long trying to understand it, simply because it's not my piece of cake. So, I think I'll enjoy university - I'll be able to specialize in something I care about. :) I enjoy school too, but that's because I have the best friends with me.

^^ It's a premade layout, actually. :O Slightly edited, but I didn't like the pink myself, so I changed it to a blue. :)

Apparently, this will all end when school starts again. We all hate it, and it's sad because we really do need the break! But have fun while you can. Get some sleep, etc.

[aqueousmist]

I don't think I hate it - as long as I'm stuck in the routine, I can pretend it's what's normal, and I'm happy. But just that little taste of what's more, gives a stark contrast.

I keep telling myself 7 days left until the summer. I can't wait - we just finished exams, and now, first day back, we're already digging into the new material! Too fast indeed.

[aqueousmist]

Ah, I love winter. Trade? ;) Summer is in 6 days! *dances*

I agree entirely about breaks. I need them, actually, to keep me sane. & I find that the more vacations I have, the less able I am to bind myself to the routine of school -- during long periods of homework/sleep/school, I can adjust to it just fine, but the moment I have a taste of freedom the restlessness begins.

And then I feel all existential, and then angst a little.

This sounds nearly exactly like a sentence that I would write in my longhand journal, Jen. Am I channeling you, or is it the other way around? ;)

[aqueousmist]

It seems I'm coveting breaks more so, now that I'm a senior than ever before. And I have to agree - during a long period, I can adjust simply because I delude myself into thinking 'this is normal - there is no other life I know'.

I never seem to be successful in longhand journals for long periods. Pity, really. Haha, or maybe we're drawing inspiration from the same musty, dark pits of the underworld. ;)

Yay for breaks, ne? You deserve it.

[aqueousmist]

Yay for breaks indeed! I really need to fix my nonexistent sleeping patterns. T__T
