I can't wait for the next holiday, being a student for 5 years isn't a joke. I am really anticipating the end of this semester: present my post data, write all my exams well and defend my project. Then, I want to give myself a holiday of unknown days and weeks. My body, soul and spirit needs a long break from anything school related. This one semester have been so good and too easy, if you know you know. A lot of stress and pressure from lecturers, professors and the department itself.
I haven't planned exactly where I will go after school but visiting my parents is the first choice for now. My holiday needs to be free from any form of stress, a place where I can be on my own, have things the way I want them to be. Well, if I will be going home after exams, which I most likely do, I won't be so free. I want to see my parents, hug them, laugh with them, appreciate them for supporting my academics from the on set, the unplanned calls for this and that, etc. I want to taste my mom's food after a long time. My mom would want my company but would also want me to help, which isn't bad but this will be clashing with my own schedules.
The first dew days of my holiday will be to stay away from people and any form of work. I need to ease off every mental stress this school has caused me. I am planning towards it, I will have all I need inside, I'm not stepping out for a week. I am even thinking of going to stay at a friend's place for a week immediately after the exam. I really need the break from school.
Another option is traveling to my uncle house for a week, i only need to tell him ahead maybe 2 weeks ahead so he can plan. I am 100% sure food is steady, I won't be stressed at all, just chores and very few errands. I spent two weeks the last time I went there and getting back to school, I received so many compliments about me adding weight and my skin looking more fresh than it was before I left. That's what I want, stress free life. We call it a soft life here.
During my holiday, I'd love to take myself out to a restaurant, visit places I've never been to, like a football field where I can sit and enjoy street football, games centers. I also want to attend a wedding party, I haven't attended any in a long time because of school. I want to be free for as long as possible before I embark on the journey of life as a graduate. Part of my holiday will be to visit some of my friends in their school. It's more like an excursion to their university. I've heard a lot about some universities and would love to see for myself.
It is going to be a long holiday actually since I would be a graduate and have nothing to do with school until I'm ready to acquire my masters education. Part of this long holiday is to figure out what I will be doing for the next 5 years, but, I will break it donw into weeks and months so it feasible, adjustable, precise and solid. The later part of this holiday will be to start life properly, knowing nothing is going to take my time, no more 9 am to 6 am classes, no more assignments, no more pressure from any lecturer, no rules and regulations to abide by. Just me planning and working towards a better future in every present day.
It's going to be a long holiday and I anticipate it. I don't know exactly what it would look like, though I have it in my head. All I know is that all things will work together for my good.
