I love holidays. It's always good to have some time for yourself, isn't it? Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all schools in my city are being closed, mine included. Which means only that I am blessed with free time to spend. And I've got plans.
First of all, I'm going to buy a safety mask - a special one with a filter, black. It looks cool, my friends don't have one. Secondly, it's a must to watch a new episode of my favourite series. During schooltime, it's practically impossible to snatch a minute to watch it, all the tedious homework crams my entire day and sometimes night. Thirdly, I'm going to plan out my sleeping hours. Now, I don't sleep well with only 6 or even less hours left to lie with my eyes closed. When on holidays, I will manifest the following: 8 hours - take it or leave it.
Basically, those are my plans for the holidays. Hope by the end of the pandemic quarantine, the school won't look abandoned or vandalised.
