Spring Break

Hello there, hope your all well :D

So spring break is over and it was just what I needed after 2 very long weeks of exams. The stress and pressure was killing me and to have one week of nothing was heaven.  I had some school work to finish but nothing major so I decided to leave it for the last day of the break (since I work better under pressure). This break was very productive so I thought I’d blog about it :D

1)      I started knitting my friend’s sweater, but obviously I’m not done with it since this is my second attempt at knitting a sweater. I’m nearly done with the back side, and then I’ll start with the front and the two sleeves are left for the end. I’m in love with the colour, it’s beautiful and the yarn is so soft.

2)      I watched a movie called LIFE OF PI and let’s talk about my thoughts on this movie. I think the story was great and I liked it but it was boring for me. I stared at my watch every 10 minutes, so it wasn’t as captivating as I expected. i think i got sea-sick just by watching the movie.  I also watched HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA with my sister and my cousins which was cute and I loved it.

3)      I went out on a family lunch with my parents and my little sister, we had lunch and did some shopping here and there. And the restaurant gave us this fancy water bottle and being the crochet freak that i am, I had this image of covering this bottle with crochet and using it as a piece of décor somewhere around the house. I started with this just before the spring break ended so I haven’t finished it yet but I will be posting a picture of it when I’m done.

4)      This is where my book addiction comes in; I continued reading ‘A Place Called Here’ By Cecelia Ahern which I borrowed from my school library during exams as a “short read”. I’m not that into the book, it’s too slow and nothing much interesting. My friend told me that the ending wasn’t too great as well so the only reason I’m still reading this is because I don’t like it when I leave books half read.

 I went into the book store the other day and got myself 2 books ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ by John Green and ‘Pride And Prejudice’ by Jane Austen. I can’t decided on which I should read first but I’ve heard good reviews about both of them and know that they are both from different genre and have different style.

5)      I had a Henna party and got some Henna done on my hands. Henna party is basically a party the bride’s family do right before the wedding ceremony, all the ladies are invited and the bride gets her Henna done for her wedding night and the people clap and dance and all that. It’s very traditional, people wear traditional Jalabiya or Indian sari or Punjabi.

You might not think that my spring break was productive but at least I did something right? Now that I’ve told you all about my spring break, I’d like to hear about yours. I love it when people tell me what they did in their breaks or free time, it gives me ideas to plan what to do in my next break.

See you soon x
