Reverting

I've noticed that when I return home (wherever home might be), I end up reverting to my old self. Too much time in front of the computer. Too much time sitting around. Not enough time swimming. Not enough time playing games.

I think I've been able to balance things a little better this break. I'm slowly making my way through stacks of short stories that need to be graded. Getting some good sleep and some great naps. I've beaten my mom really good at our favorite card game "Hand and Foot." Snuggled up with the dog to watch a chick flick. Been swimming twice.

I'll try to cram the last few things in before leaving on Sunday morning. A few more naps, a few more swims, a few more card games. I'm thankful for this break from school, from the concrete of Manila, and from the noise.
