walking on sunshine?

I'm not sure if this is a commonly-used phrase, but i know that i've heard "how quickly time passes when you're enjoying yourself" at some points in time (it could be a commonly-used phrase, or it could just be a line from some TV show that i watched which has stuck) in my mind. Whatever the case, it certainly has rung true for this past, purportedly six week long holiday, of which just under one and a half weeks is left.

Coupled with that is the prospect of getting quite a bit of work done before school starts proper (what's new?) and a rather, shall we say interesting class allocation for the new year, which will at the very least require quite a bit of pre-lesson prep, of which again i've done zilch thus far. And even though i don't think there's a need for me to be back in school for the majority of next week, the fact that i can't really get much work done in a home environment, means that i may end up toiling in the stuffy staff room for perhaps all the weekdays next week, the prospect of which doesn't exactly excite me even one tiny bit.

But all that being said, after the nice recharging and, as much as i hate using this word now particularly within the context of moe overuse, reflecting experience that was the trip (even if most of the recharging has pretty much worn off by now), there's in some strange way something about this upcoming year that is strangely enticing for me. We'll have to see if this is just pre-term enthusiasm that will be snuffed out by the end of day one though...

And in the meantime i shall listen to Glee :)
