It's been a pounder of a week, what with the students expecting nothing more than Christmas songs every day and my constant prodding them into doing work. Every hour needs a new whip and chair, just to stay on top of things. But it's over now. Friday has finally come, and a good weekend stands between now and the few party-strewn days before Christmas next week.
I'm in a bit of a jam about Christmas. Someone who always seems to change his plans changed his plans and I'm stuck with Yuli for family at the moment. But Christmas can be improvised. What I'm looking forward to is the week and a half after Christmas where nothing will be between me and whatever I want to do. Nothing? Sure I'll do that. Parties? Probably. New Years? Definitely. Vacation at home is really where the good times are. If you travel you always wind up haveing to do things. Nothing against travelling, but I've come to praise relaxation, and trips can be short on relaxation sometimes.
So I'm here, in Silistra, relaxing. I can't wait. It'll be fun to see how this place does Christmas and New Years.
