The Chicken and the Egg

Do you ever wonder if the tension and anxiety that always precedes a major break from school is because people are honestly burnt out, or do you think that knowing we're on the verge of a break causes a break down? I always wonder at this time of year if the exhaustion I feel is because I let myself feel it since I know break is coming or whether I am actually genuinely tired. Many schools, for example, have school into next week. If that was the case with us, would the "get me the heck our of here's" have started this early or kicked into gear next Monday?

What are your thoughts?

Will I get sick this weekend? More than likely. I tend to always have a break down of my immune system when we're out of school. Anyone find that similarly happens to them?

Who has big goals for break-- things they want to accomplish? I already feel like every day of my break is consumed with activity and responsibility... How do people do it when they work all year long without the breaks we enjoy from school? I have had a winter break since I was old enough to attend school.

Who here is good at relaxing or knows how to unwind in healthy ways?
