curiosity

Seems that there is such a thing as an environment for learning. It not only is conducive to learning by providing a friendly environment but also spurs on a thirst for knowledge.

These past few weeks that I've been home, on break, I've found it harder to be curious and have just had much less of a desire to know things. It could be a result of my exhaustion but it seems to be something deeper than that. At school I have this fervent desire to learn how things work or understand their meanings. But away from school, my first priority is to find something entertaining, to find something to occupy my time until I go back. I just have less desire to learn or be productive.

Another reason however, is that I'm on break and feel like I need to make the most of it and enjoy it as much as possible, before it slips away. Whereas, at school I have alot of time that I don't feel a need to enjoy selfishly with instant gratification, I can be productive or allow my thirst for knowledge to grow.
