Mid-term break

I had a friend who once told me the one week break is just meant for the term to break cos you realised that it's not called a study break or holiday, it's called term break, hence the break is for the term not for us.
Thinking through, I think this pretty much makes sense. With the amount of school stuff like projects, essays, revision for tests that I need to do, I don't think I can use the break much to do anything of my own. It's still more or less studying but the difference is that I don't need to go to school.
On another thought, this semester's mid-term break makes me feel pretty cheated. It's right in line with the CNY holidays so practically the break is like Wed-Fri only.
well enough of the ranting, nonetheless, I thank God for the break and the chance to 'enjoy' it.
