fall break?
Oct. 12th, 2005 05:51 pmAnother semester has come to its midpoint, a sentence punctuated by an all-too-insufficient hyphen known as KU's Fall Break.
Don't get me wrong; at least WE get one. ASU sucks forever as the school that gives no vacation until Thanksgiving.
It's a four-day weekend. Which is good, except: 1) all the professors say "you have four days! surely you can get THIS assignment done!" 2) take-home mid-terms 3) it's not long enough to really go anywhere, mainly because of #1 and #2.
So it's a long, working weekend. Somewhere in here I hope to write a paper for a class in Germany that I haven't had time yet to write. I truly and honestly suck sometimes. So I'm not going to the college reunion of the current flame because I have to write a paper that was technically due yesterday.
*sigh* At least I don't have to teach class or write lesson plans for two days this week. That is a nice thing.
I still wish I could GO somewhere. I like traveling, and I'd love a break from all this madness that is the aftermath of last week's fire.
