catching some breath

I find it kinda ironic that now that it's the holidays, and school has been out (at least for the students) since the last time i was here, that i seem to have less time on my hands to post anything here. Bringing forward the last day of school (again, i stress, for the students) seems to have become the ultimate empowering device to hand all sorts of somehow school-related work to us, stuff which, during lesson time, we could still swat away (occasionally, at least).

In this sense (and i know i might sound like a darn workaholic when i say this - which maybe is what i've become), i'm glad that circumstances are as such this time that i'm not able to go for a decent (means more than a week long) overseas trip, so that i can have more time at hand now to try and get all the work done before i do go somewhere, which will be for a far shorter time than what i'd ideally like. But a holiday's a holiday, i guess, right? And in any case, i somehow have become relatively focused these past few days or so, such that i think i've been able to get through quite a fair bit of work, or at least a fair bit more than i'd expect from myself when not at home trying to do work.. Good times?
