Holidays. Winter break.

That means 1 1/2 month of solitary confinement on a campus that is nearly completely deserted. Sounds dull? Well … but there are some positive things about that, if you just look hard enough.

Like the internet.

I can finally do stuff online now after 4 pm in the afternoon without getting stuck on a website that takes like an hour to open.

Why?

Because the students are gone.
Because no one is watching online soap operas and plays computer games anymore as soon as class is over.
Because there simply aren’t enough people on campus to slow down the internet so much that no one can do anything online at all anymore!

So, that’s great, right? After all, it is “yay” for winter holidays that give me a break!
