Experience Wash

The second hand has made one full turn, and I'm sitting back at the same position I was approximately 60 seconds ago.

Yet things aren't the same.

Compare sec 4 holidays - a time which I actually found rather relaxing, both in March and June.

Year 5 holidays are effectively nonholidays.
March was filled with BB stuff. Busy, admittedly enjoyable but not really relaxing...
June. Math Olympiad --> World Scholar's Cup --> IOP Essay Prep --> Comp Sci IA --> IOP Prep --> Primers' Standby --> Exam Prep...

I enjoy my activities and it was my choice to have these so I know I shouldn't be complaining... but I need some time to get away from things.
