Holiday

Tomorrow I am going on a holiday for four days. Never mind that I am in the middle of an assignment, have assignments that need marking, have timetables to do, have an orientation to plan, have a paper to revise and resubmit, have to decide whether to apply for promotion and/or a teaching and learning award. Never mind any of those things. I am going to the thriving metropolis of HerveyBay for four days with my parents and sister to do nothing except shop, drink coffee, eat out, walk in the sun, take photos, read and watch TV. Yes, it is perhaps the daggiest holiday ever but that is just fine with me. This will be my only proper days off until at least mid October/November. I will not be taking my watch, my makeup, any good clothes or anything at all related to work. I will be taking my Kindle, my iPhone (pod), my new sneakers, my hat and my very ordinary clothes. I may eat ice cream, fish and chips and other foods that are bad for me. I may sleep in, nap during the day and go to the movies. Indeed, I may do all these things or none of them. In other words, I will do what I like.
