Holidays from everything (for one day) and holidays in general (for more than one day)

I took almost the entire Saturday off from the internet, got up really early and went out hiking and adventuring in the forest. Sometimes it is so nice to not be available to anyone and just be on your own, simply enjoying your surroundings. Now that I have holidays, it is a whole lot easier to truly forget about my daily duties every now and then and stroll about without having to keep time in mind.

I have also had a very cozy evening with again very little technology, aside from a wee bit of social media on my phone, but mainly I wanted to relax and read my book, rather than actually be online.
Currently I am reading a random selection of Middle High German literature and I am having great fun fiddling with my translations.

Almost in contrary to the very down to earth saturday, I spent most of my sunday in a car, doing a whole lot more practise driving with my mother until I reached a point where I felt like my eyes could not handle staying in focus anymore. It has been a very intense week of glaring at slides all day afterall.
Even after a wee stop at a random lake with gorgeous blue water, I did not feel like driving and actually fell asleep on our way back home.

 

The water was so icy blue, it almost looked unreal

 

Doesn't this look absolutely enchanting? I was considering actually going for a swim.

Oh dear, the the last day of uni, being last friday, has been quite the exhausting experience: It was stuffed with obligations from early morning until late night and aside from an hour where I was free and could sit a wee bit in the sun enjoying some snacks and a grand view, I was busy all day long. Thus, the saturday was very much needed.

Spring-sunlight + me = instant takeover of instincts to enjoy the weather. Can you see the reassemblance? *giggles*

My remaining sunday was a mix of tackling part two of my grand spring cleaning and some more relaxation with a wee bit of Mass Effect (playing the Demo atm). It was quite the nice surprise to actually have holidays, for I had been convinced that I would just get a couple of days off for some reason...

As for today, I have allowed myself to sleep until 8am, have very lazy and decadent breakfast, whilst listening to music like this.
I have always been in love with Vivaldi's music and lately I have been listening almost soley to his compositions, indulging in the beauty these melodies.
Now however, it is time to - ironically - head out to university; I have a lot of slides to print (and when I say "a lot", I mean it). Depending on the weather until then, my study session will either take place outside in the park, in a cafe, or at home. Definitely not the library though, I need to drink on a regular basis and it somehow makes me nervous when I am not allowed to bring  waterbottle. Also the chairs there come with the guarantee of one's butt going dead after very little time.

I also need to finish my father's birthdaypresent, he'll have his big day this week and I still have some work to do!

But for now, have a wonderful, productive and energetic Monday, eyeryone! *vanishes in a cloud of glitter and leaves*
