the feeling settles in

Tomorrow begins the first day of spring semester. Usually I feel a sense of dread at the end of vacation, but my winter break has been a good one month, and I feel that it's about time to have some regular, time-keeping event in my life again. I've been a house bum for the past few days, and I'm starting to feel myself becoming one of society's giant bugs, so, if nothing else, school will get me out of bed in the morning, and it'll keep my mind from turning to mush. I just wish it weren't so cold in the mornings/all day long.

Even though, aside from going to Hokkaido, I didn't do much over break, at least I somehow feel that inspiration has been returned to me, and my sense of wonder at life has been restored. I can't place exactly how or why, but I feel great. It seems like it's been a really long time since I've been in such high spirits even just sitting on my floor and typing.
