A break that isn't a break. I increasingly find myself tired out by the endless activities an overseas student has to partake in during his vacations. The endless scouring for food sorely missed, the multitudes of friends you are dying to meet, the vehement complaints about the weather.

This isn't a complaint, it is merely a remark. Truth be told there is just so much to do and so little time to do it.

Then again much the same could be said for life in general.

Hold on to the things that matter.
