Recuperate
Mom always tells me 休息是为了走更长的路.
That is, rest takes you for a longer journey. And as always, much more elegant a saying in Chinese than when translated (or perhaps I just suck at effective translation).
It has been a pretty disorienting past few weeks. So in spite of all the deadlines to meet and the tests upcoming, I think I am going to give myself a decent break this reading week. And reshuffle my life a bit. I am not satisfied with this. My intentions to consolidate myself backfired on me when the term started and deadlines loomed over too quickly after the winter travels. Always happens. But it will work out soon after.
