At what appears to be only a matter of days, Christmas is finally approaching. Unfortunately, I won’t be going anywhere which is just swell since I need all the time I can get to prepare for the upcoming preliminary examinations when I come back to school. So to Christmas vacation trips I say “bah-humbug”. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t have any plans on spending the Christmas break.
Aside from well…studying, I have planned to set aside time in order to do the following:
1. Reading. I have already started reading the book, Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert Massie. It’s sort of a biography about Czar Nicholas II and Czarina Alexandra, the last autocrats of Imperial Russia. As you can see, this book is just my cup of tea.
I find the reason why the author wrote the book very touching and inspiring. After scanning the last parts of the book, I came to the part where the author talks about the suffering his son went through because of the disease hemophilia. Over time, he became so fascinated in discussions about hemophilia and he becomes more and more interested in the most famous hemophiliac of all – the last czarevitch Alexis. In his book, he wanted to show the effect the disease had on Alexis’ parents, Nicholas and Alexandra and how their behavior towards his failing health lead to enormous consequences to the world.
But I’m still in the first chapters of the book so hopefully by Christmas, I shall have finished reading it.
2.Watching TV. This Christmas break has given me the opportunity to watch the fifth season of one of my all-time favorite TV series, Supernatural. I’m so excited since in this season, Lucifer has been freed from hell so this should spice things up a bit. And the only way to know what will happen next is by watching so wish me luck!
3. Eating. What’s Christmas like without eating to your heart’s content? I just have to stay from dairy products since they’re like laxatives to me. One false move and it could end up a disaster.
But anyway, this break is just what I need for a little R & R. I expect to look rested when I come back to school. So I wish you all a Merry Christmas and see you next year…
Reading the book, Nicholas and Alexandra, is just your cup of tea?! That's so amazing!
