I usually only teach Mondays to Thursdays anyway, so, next week, we'll put in the same hours by having class from Tuesday through Friday. Even though over the two weeks, I'll put in as many hours as usual, it still feels great being on holiday! It's a mood that's hard to describe but easy to sense.
Apparently, the weather's not about to cooperate for the break. By what I've heard we're in for days of rain and showers. Rather than doing something constructive such as painting the bedroom, I'll probably lie around, snack on goodies, and chill out. I'll be perfectly happy doing nothing special.
On the holiday theme, here's a picture from a non-holiday. The only time we've carved pumpkins was our second year in Canada back in the Agnes Street apartment. This was taken in 1997.
