Breaking Spring

So Calgary’s XTREME WINTER TEMPERATURES are really good at lining up for when I am on any kind of break – winter break, spring break, whatever.

Don’t believe me?

Take a look at this graph. Can you tell which week is our spring break?

Yup, you got it!

This happens EVERY YEAR. What in the HELL.

VAYCAY

It’s “reading week” here, which is code for a week off from school. We didn’t used to have a whole week off in the fall semester, but they changed that because everyone is always so freaking sad/stressed this time of year.

So I get a week off this week, which basically means “you still have to do prep, but not teach.” Which is fine I guess.

Woot?
