So my Spring Break has come and gone and now I am back into the mix of things. But I tell you, my Spring Break was great. I didn’t go anywhere special or do anything out of the ordinary for myself. All I did was relax and reflect back on what has been going on for me in these past few months.
Sometimes it is important to give yourself that well-needed and deserved break from doing anything that could be considered “too much work.” I was able to reflect on everything that has been going on and then was able to start really thinking through some of the ideas I have had floating through my head about research and such. Now, some may say that this is “too much work” but I enjoy thinking about research ideas and ways to enact them so, for me, this was all quite enjoyable.
There were definitely more things I should have done (Like writing posts for this blog that has become unintentionally very neglected) but I was happy to have a week to myself relaxing and reorganizing my thoughts and self, in general. Now I am back at it and feel surprisingly refreshed and ready to tackle this last quarter of my first year in grad school. The first ¾ of the year have been good, but that is for another post entirely.
