Breaks

For the first time I think I had a good break. This thanksgiving break was as long as my break for Christmas in high school, and I did not do anything really special, but it seemed like it lasted just the right amount of time.
I don't know how other people feel but I usually feel that breaks slip bye like sand through your fingers, and by the time it has started it's already over. Whether it is from school or work, it always seems to rush bye.
This is how it was for me in elementary school, high school, and my summer in between high school and college. I was always trying to make the time go bye more slowly, a couple times I even stared at my clock on the wall hoping it would make time pass more slowly.
I don't know really what was different this time. I was able to relax, and even though I had something due when going back to school, it still seemed to me that I was at home for a while. I used to think that it was because of having things due over breaks that they slipped bye so fast, but now I think that it is just how you look at it.
Maybe it is because I have been away from my family for some time, but I enjoyed my most recent break, and felt refreshed when I returned to school.
Hopefully when Christmas break comes around it will be the same, I do not know exactly what made this break so good, but I plan to view each break from now on the same, and make the most of them. Hopefully I'll feel this way every time I return to school.
