Lately, I've been using the times I wake up at 3 AM to take advantage of the speedy internet and download podcasts and videos of TED talks to listen to during rest of the day. In the mornings, I write in my journal about whatever weird dreams I've had, and then read books, the latest one being Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger. In the afternoons, I watch my downloads, clip articles and review for final exams I'll be taking next semester while waiting for dinner. This is the most activity-packed sembreak I've ever had so far.

As you could see, I've been staying at home doing solitary activities during my sembreak. It may seem sad compared to the grand adventures other people are having with all their friends and post all their pictures of Facebook and go on talking about them online.

It shouldn't bother me that I'm not spending my break the same way others are, because I do a lot of crazy extroverted stuff while I'm in school, surrounded by lots of people. One thing they're doing that I'd like to do as well is to travel, so I'd better fix my documents and do some research on places to go to. I'd just rather do it by myself.
