Ahh … nothing better than a long chain of lazy days. I’ve spent the last two days in bed, watching TV or just browsing websites (thank you, StumbleUpon, thank you).

After next week, my staycation vacation will officially start, and most of that time will be lazy time. My homepage will see a redesign, sure. I’ll get that much-needed haircut, yes. But, oh, the mere thought of spending a long time doing nothing (after three weeks of doing everything) makes me wish I could fast-forward the upcoming week and be done with those two final exams and the graphic design presentation that are just getting in the way.

Next term, I’ll only have three classes. The final three. Easiest thing ever, I hope. I’ll have to take a couple of courses to make the rest of the required 60 hours in order to graduate and be done with the whole college thing. I can’t wait to see that time when my family will not have to bug me about getting an education, because school sucked for the most part, college is sort of meh and, if I’d had a choice, I would have liked to start working right away. But now, I’m tied down by student credit, which I’ll have to start paying after graduation.

Anyway, back to the whole lazy thing. This is the “Holy Week”, as they call it. Back in school, we’d get the whole week off, but all I get now is a four-day holiday starting Thursday (yesterday). Not sure if the school kids still have it the same, but they’re already lucky to have a whole summer of doing nothing, if they so desire.

I’m wondering what I’ll do following the upcoming term. I can’t do my final project thing until January (something about the September-December term being too short), so I’ll have four months for doing whatever my family wants I want. I hope I can use that time to become better at everything I want to become better at (especially Blender, because it seems I’m perpetually rusty when it comes to it), and use the remaining time to get a well-deserved rest of around 19 years of “education”. Too many years, in my opinion, and not everything (especially what was actually necessary) was well-taught.

As for reading, I haven’t done much of it since The Magic Mountain. Nothing of it, in fact. My motivation has suffered greatly with much of it (and my time) spent on college work, and some lazy time is just what I need, to allow it to replenish, as slowly as it ever does. Maybe after next week I’ll have enough motivation to pick up a pocket book or something.

I’ll see if I can take advantage of the city/town/thing being empty (everyone’s making the most of their long weekend) to take a nice long walk and get some photos. Photos are good. It’s the stuff of memories, second only to the mind (but even that fails sometimes).

Until then (if it does happen) go read some other blogs. They also want to be read, you know!
