With time off, it can be a little difficult to decide exactly what you want to do with it, especially when that time off lasts more than a few days. Most people would probably try to get away, but there's something refreshing about staying at home, too. I personally tend to stay at home on long breaks. It gives me a great opportunity to work on projects around the house that have eluded due me to being busy with other things. It also gives me the chance to relax quite a bit. There have been several days over this past week where I didn't go to bed until midnight and I would wake up around eight. It's quite nice having that freedom from responsibilities from time to time.
But there is a disadvantage to these large amounts of time off. At least for me there is. I find that after several days off I become too relaxed and need to re-motivate myself to do work. It's not the physical relaxation that gets to me, it's the mental relaxation. Just like the body, if you don't exercise the brain, it gets sluggish. I try to do something that exercises the mind at least once a day, even if it is something as simple as addition and subtraction.
