The current schoolyear has one of the best timings for days off school.
September, October, November, December passed quickly, fueled by the positive energy I had gained during summer time relaxation. Days off - 1 November - All Saints` Day. And 14 October - Teacher`s Day with no classes.
Christmas and New Year- 11 days off. Could be better because there are years when there are 14 days off. Seldom, but it happens.
January - Epiphany on 6th is a bank holiday.
In mid February we had 2 weeks of winter holidays (which fall on different dates every year). Good timing for a rest after 6 weeks of work. Sometimes it is much worse and they come at the end of January - too early after Christmas/NY.
Now I must survive full March (4 weeks of work are bearable - besides we get the 13th salary in March
) and Easter comes in April. Good.
Sometimes it is hard because of winter depression (no sun) and general tiredness, especially when you need to work nearly full February, March and Easter comes later in April. Two full months at that time of year can be exhausting.
In May there are bank holidays on 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Then final exam time for 3 days - no classes. Later Corpus Christi on Thursday and Friday after it is off too.
The school year always ends on Friday around 20th June. But the week before it is usually classless too - teachers are busy preparing school documents.
This year`s schedule is very good with its balance between work and time off. One has a chance to regenerate, mostly mentally. In my case it is very important.
