My spring break started at the end of the day Friday and ends Sunday.

That's just asking for a "skip day" right there.  I don't like it either, but I've seen some professors take advantage of those kinds of days when they occurred on the college schedule.  I even earned a few extra credit points as a result by still showing up to class.
Really? I never thought professors were that giving. :P Who knows maybe I will too... after all I'm not doing so hot in two of my classes right now anyways.

Fun game to try this week:  start at the first cable/satellite channel you get and scroll all the way around.  Count the number of channels now owned by NBCU/Comcast that have green logos.

I counted something like 15 last night: NBC broadcast/CSN Chicago/E!/USA/TWC/MSNBC/CNBC/Golf/Versus/E! Style/G4/SyFy/Bravo/CSN New England/CSN Bay Area + HD channels of all the channels listed.

Haha! I should try that, however I don't have any HD televisions/service, so I'll just have to count the channels on SD.

Spriiiiing breeeeeeak for meee! Until Monday. I'm so excited, and I deserve it.

So, how is everyone so far? ^_^

Wow, that's late...we had ours over a month ago! :blink: Hope you enjoy it, though, Ana. :happy:

If I stayed in EC, I would have had my Spring Break two weeks ago. And of course, I am enjoying it so far, just that I had to come to school today to take a test. THEN, these next few days is freedom. ^__^

Speaking of EC, I'm still debating whether I should go this weekend for Easter. Gas prices are pretty high these days.  :hmm:

Tried it today. Basically I can say my cable is green. xD

Ugh, it's going to take some time to get used to IE9. The look of the Menu bar and stuff is different. :hmm:

Here's a fun play on weather... WPXI made a "Special Weather Report" video on Youtube for a "whiteout"," as if they were breaking into live TV to cover severe winter weather, but it's actually for the Pens since they're in the playoffs.

Spring break has been well over for me...started mid-March and ended just before April. Do get a half-day for Good Friday, though.  :happy:

I consider my current Spring Break "late". I wish I had it on the first week of April. Things would have been much easier.
