It is the New Year long weekend here in Taiwan. I apparently did nothing.

I did nothing over spring break. Well, nothing productive anyway. I didn’t grade a single assignment. There was no slaving over lesson plans or answering emails. My time wasn’t spent folding laundry, organizing my closets, or cooking elaborate meals either. This was not a productive break. I caught up on Netflix, spent time with my loved ones, played games on my phone, and napped a whole bunch. And I don’t feel an ounce of teacher guilt.

My family deserves my time.

I’ve already given way more than should be expected this school year.

My body needed to recover.

It’s called a “break” for a reason.
