Now to tell you that break wasn't spectacular would be lying, it indeed was absolutely positively refreshing. A much needed hiatus from school work and the town that I have come to live nine months out of the year at, Grove City.
You're probably thinking I went home and just slept my head off, ate like crazy, and just dozed around doing nothing; living the good life of a college kid back home. Well if you thought that for a split second, hate to break it to you that you are incorrect with that assumption. At home, I baked, read, cycled, played frisbee & tennis, swam, ate meals with old friends, hung out with family, and alas did teeny bit of homework. Yes I did sleep and eat good food, but you know my sleep schedule did not really change at home and for eating, bless my mother for being such a good cook.
All those activities seem to be something some one would stray away on a break, but frankly it was those activities that brought me the happiest moods and times for a good long while.

I was doing things that did not require me to stop and think, to contemplate the pros and cons, or to analyze the outcomes of.
For me, that was what I desperately needed.
Time after time I've been told and have told myself to just live life as it is. As surfers would put it, live each life one wave after another. That's what I did at home and by George it was great!
Upon returning to campus, the usual question of "how was break?" comes up in conversation. When directed towards me I have just simply responded with how "absolutely positively refreshing" break was with a huge grin and perky attitude.
Think I like how I'm feeling now and I plan on keeping it going as long as possible. I'm in a good mental state, life is going well, and the Lord is watching over me. Can't complain.
There you have it folks :-D
