i think one of the greatest oxymorons ever would be 'holiday homework'. i mean, just think about it. it doesn't make sense at all huh. =x thinking back on the dumb week-long 'holidays', hmmpphh. throughout the entire week, i've been finding myself in a lifeless, non-existent state of existence. like wth, it's really..sighh. every day, i've just been trying desperately to find a work-life balance, and i end up finding neither. no work done, and i remain a lifeless soul.

i was thinking, why can't students be allowed to set their own pace of their education path, and decide not just what they want to study, but when they want to study? i mean, i thought of those working adults who go away on sabbaticals and retreats, taking time off from work to do something else. you know, like, sometimes people decide to take say, one year off, give themselves a break from their monotonous and drony office lifestyle, and simply get away from it all and do something different. like maybe, do something they've always wanted to do, but never found the time for. maybe pick up a new skill, or learn a new musical instrument or something. now, i was thinking, wouldn't it be so cool if students could do the same?? like, give us the flexibility to decide our path, grant us some time to do stuff we really want to do. not those miserable 1 week, 4 weeks sort of 'vacation' mind you. i'm talking about good, solid time when we can really take a break, take stock, and enrich ourselves. maybe like a year.

oh welllllll....
