I have a different plan. I don't have to do extensive planning, budgets or research. But the result is the same. With Spring Break coming up, I will get a chance to distance myself from the routine of waking up, going to classes, editing and laying-out pages here at the Daily and returning home to study, only to do it all again the next day. I could just sit and relax, or take a long drive to allow my instincts to guide the way.
Some people call it pure laziness or being a bum.
For me, it's paradise. All I have to do is find a comfortable spot on a patch of grass, a soft chair in a room, a large boulder near a body of water or a stretch of road where I can absorb my surroundings. To some, it may sound pointless. In reality, however, it is more relaxing than an extravagant trip. Or perhaps you enjoy spending hundreds or thousands of dollars to travel many miles to see some of the world's greatest attractions.
