Describing one's own characters is probably the most difficult thing in my own little world. So I'm not trying to do that here. What I'll do instead is to put my views on something (ha, if I've any) ...
A loooong looooooong vacation ...
Some people can't stand a moment without doing something "constructive". They really honestly can't. For me, I've a mixture of feeling for those people - firstly I do kinda envy them because they actually do get something done; on the other hand I also feel sorry for them.
Sometimes I just love to be on my own, not doing anything. To stay lazy. Maybe just read some books, day-dreaming staring at mid-air, play the piano, experiment with tunes/ chords etc. with no intention of writing it down. In other words, not getting anything done. It kinda feels good, but then my mother/ friends start to become horified.
"How can you be so anti-productive?" "You've wasted the whole time!"
Yes, then I do start to feel guilty. We're not meant to enjoy boredom. We're supposed to be working working working ...
With the 30 years or so of working after I grad., I know I'd miss these long, long, boring vacations.
