I actually don't like breaks much, other than that I have a higher chance of seeing Karen during them. I am much more satisfied when I'm getting work done than when I'm goofing off, but I naturally start goofing off if I have a lot of free time and then it's hard to get back in gear when it comes time to work. I'd just like more three day weekends so I'd occasionally have a day off with no responsibilities, so I can have free time without losing momentum.
Here are some updates:
My room mate is fun, but questionable. We're polar opposites but reflected along some line of symmetry that allows us to get along.
I know exactly what I want out of my life and I do very little that is not directly related to working toward that goal.
He's an undecided major, coasting through college on a trust fund from the army, and he's spent this spring break playing video games for like 16 hour stretches every day.
We don't understand each other at all, but we have a good time.
All my (non spring break) free time is getting sucked up by my honors thesis, which is awesome and also rapidly spiraling out of control.
I also spend a lot of time worrying about grad school because it turns out in the humanities top tier (where I'm going for phD) admissions don't seem to be appreciably better than random & there's no step down from the programs that are suited for me: I just can't do the kind of work I want to do anywhere else. If all this work doesn't pay off exactly the way I want it to, they will record my wrath on the seismic scale.
