  Sri Lanka, just south of India, is a small island that is big on historical attractions, holy sites and natural beauty, including exotic birds, animals and marine life.

Saleah: what does”i’m drowning in school work mean” Stan: saleah It means there is so much homework, it’s like a sea which the student is struggling to stay afloat in, or get on top of. There are related metaphors: I could say I’m “submerged in (or by) work”, or I might be “up to my eyes/ears/elbows/armpits in paperwork”. Belinda: It means there’s an overload of work which you can’t seem to get through *when your drowning you can’t seem to get through to the surface of the water*
