Entry 38: Winter Holiday

Write about all the joys and sorrows you experienced during the festive winter holiday break.

• Joys: There are many joys that I had experienced during my winter break. First of all (and most important of all), I was able to repay my sleep debt (not enough REM sleep!!!!!). For most of the days, when there is no errands or activities to do, I slept until one or two o'clock. Now, I know that sounds really exaggerated, but it's true. But I must also mention that I did not sleep at night until two or three o'clock in the morning. This leads to the other joy: I was able to watch all the television I wanted to and use my computer and internet access until I was satisfied. Watching television causes me to sleep really late at night because all the shows that I wanted to watch are played late at night. The other part of the holiday that was a joy was that I was able to play and gamble a lot (though I know it's not right, it's still fun). The final joy is also an important one: I feasted a lot with my family, mainly because there were a lot of birthdays and therefore a lot of celebrations.
• Sorrows: The sorrows that I had experienced are quite common sorrows. First is homework (something most students have). But I'm glad that I finished homework the first week during break. The second that comes is preparing for tests. Can you believe it? I have a precalculus final the Tuesday we come back! Next is the big test: SAT. Practice tests everyday can really make someone go crazy. Guess I'm going crazy the next two years! (<-- that's a bad thing if you don't know) Finally, the other main sorrow was that there were so many chores and errands that I have to do since my brother came back. Troublesome...
