Winter break is quickly coming to an end (much to my unhappiness). I wouldn't mind going back to school if I didn't have to teach. Unfortunately, I've come to dread it, which makes me want to half-ass all of my lesson plans, which isn't fair to my students, which makes me dread it even more. Maybe I just need a more positive attitude about the whole thing.

I've basically been spending break making really good food (all kinds of soups/stews/chilis, mini vegan pizzas, giant omelettes, etc.), watching Rocko's Modern Life, reading a little, planning for my class next semester, and sleeping way too much. But, I did discover today that I'm actually quasi-happy with 30 of my poems! A step away from my usual Well I guess I might like one of them (which I'll hate in a week). Grad school may be beneficial after all.

How's everyone else's break? Relaxing I hope?


P.S. Some inspiration photos:

I had to. I was obsessed with everything she wore in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

I've been obsessed with turbans, giant scarves and capes lately. <3

Also, Nordic print.

And long skirts.

I would probably never wear anything from this outfit (except for the hair color), but I love it!
