Wow, I had completely forgotten what college schedules are like. I realized I can’t do a week-long event in September because, well, I’ll be in school. It’s going to be strange to not pick when I want to go on vacation! Here’s the highlights from the upcoming year’s calendar:

• Aug 22 - New student orientation starts
• Aug 27 - Fall classes begin
• Oct 18 - Homecoming
• Nov 21 - Thanksgiving
• Dec 07 - Fall classes end
• Dec 11 - Fall exams
• Jan 22 - Spring classes begin
• Feb 17 - Spring break
• May 05 - Spring classes end
• May 07 - Spring exams

There’s a huge break between fall exams and spring classes starting, perhaps we will take a vacation then. Winter’s always a good time to get away. Or perhaps it will be for spring break, though I don’t know how long it is - only when it starts. Spring break is usually a week, right?
