Most schools are closed currently, considering most people out here still go to school, I assume most are enjoying a vacation. I am not an exception at the moment. My vacation from school started about five months ago, but I got free from work only a month ago. I had two weeks off - which cannot be called a vacation at all! I have been trying to finish some stuff which is of dire importance; something I'm still not done with - and returned to work after that. For another month of being a normal employee (at a bizar temprature), I finally am free to do what I like; my vacation officially started.
"You know, I'm really starting to get jealous at Eli. She started with her job (again) after my vacation started. And when did the temprature started to go down? Exactly, the day I stopped working. As if that isn't enough, she clearly pointed it out to me. Oh well, I guess it's funny." - Me
So, how are you guys enjoying your vacation?
A week (or two) ago, I planned that I would definitely go out a lot (despite that I'm not the type of perosn to go out) but who am I that I be expecting that the temprature would drop with 10 - 15 degrees (celcius) in less than aweek?
Not to mention that it has been raining non-stop for nearly all week now... quite... sad, actually. So much for my plans. I should have continued to work there... that way, I could at least properly say good bye to a few guys out there...
"It's getting cooler next week. 'It's dropping to 27 degrees,' he says. I'm not sure what you like, Ed, but I still think 27 degrees is hot." - Ramon, my former boss.
As a result, I have been playing Baldurs Gate, a game, for most of my vacation now. Not that I mind it too much, but it has been taking quite some time of me.
Together with a forgein friend of mine - who is also a member of this forum, but I'll spare his name - we also decided that we would try our luck with a few girls. I'm not sure how it fares with him - he told me he was quite "clueless" at the matter - but it fared better with me that I would have possibly dreamed. That's what's wrong though. Too much success it not good either; not for someone like me. I have been staying offline more than usual just to avoid contact currently. I told that "forgein friend" as well that I will not be "impressing any girls for a little while. About a half a month, or a full month I'll remain silent; unless one of them decides to make a move instead, but I'm not expecting much. The chance however, does exist, as I have a few deals and promises running with a couple of them." What is the conclusion of that? I'll have a very boring vacation from today on.
I'm still (slowly) recovering from the many parties I attended to only a short while ago. In one week of time, more people were having their birthday than I can even count. The problem was, there were even more parties in that same week than people having their birthday. Quite exhausting, I must admit, but fun nonetheless and I do not regret a second of it.
My vacation won't be a calm one for long however. On the 21th of August (the 23th, to be exact) I am supposed to go back to school for some kind of introduction. Despite that such things are optional, the letter clearly mentions that you must attend to it. Free will, where has it gone?
But before my school starts, I want to travel a little bit. Starting on the 16th of August, I'll be able to travel for free throughout the entire country (not that it's all that much the Netherlands is quite small). That's my plan. Perhaps I'll be visiting some concerts, some far-away living friends or maybe deal with those "unfinished business" I earlier spoke off. Though the first two sound a lot more pleasant. If I can avoid that "business," then I'll do so. I am currently not interested in putting myself under unnecessary pressure. Bah, I'm just afraid for the consequences...
So, the question is, how you are you guys spending your vacation? Trying your luck with a summer-job? Leaving, or already left to another place to spend your vacation? Just "enjoying the weather in your own backyard?" (- Elianne, a friend) Perhaps you're busy with some personal stuff out there, which is denying your vacation? Or maybe "are you killing yourself from boredom because there isn't anything to do?" (- Wendy, an acquaintance)
