There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more. - George Gordon Byron

First Semester Starts in August... now what?

First semester starts in August. Yes, starting this year, first semester will start in August. Well, not in all schools.  Other schools opted to start in June just like how it used to.

I have so many concerns about this change.  Since I usually travel during sem breaks, concerns regarding traveling make me feel uneasy.  For one, if first semester starts in August, that means it will end in December.  I am afraid that I won't be able to travel that much this time since airfares in December can be very pricey.  Even hotels can be very expensive at that time of the year.  Second semester starts in January and ends in May.  Rainy season starts by then.    If "summer" term starts in June and ends in July, traveling can also be very difficult at this time of the year.  Though airfares can be cheaper at that time, I don't feel comfortable traveling considering all those typhoons and strong rains brought about by the southwest monsoon.

Another concern I have with this change is the fact that most of things I enjoy doing can be best done during October and also in March and April.  I am referring to running, hiking, trekking, and swimming. Surfing in December can be fun though.

Is it about time for me to look for a different set of hobbies?
