You'd Break Your Neck To Keep Your Chin Up

Fall quarter starts on a Wednesday.

It always has. In fact, it’s even the law. 

Next year it starts on a Monday. What the fuck?!? This makes fall quarter a full 11 weeks [for those unaware quarters are 10 weeks + finals]… now usually we end up having 10.5 week fall quarters, but a full 11 weeks just seems torturous.

However, we get a full 3 week winter vacation. I thought they might push finals week off and give us 3 weeks in mostly December off. Not the case. Finals week is where it normally is due to the full 11 week quarter, but we get the entire first week of January off. We return Monday the 7th, whereas we usually come back on something like the 3rd. This is very strange to me. I don’t know how to feel about it. I guess because January 1st is on a Tuesday and they aren’t allowed to make us come back on the 2nd…. so starting on Thursday does seem weird/pointless. But this all still weirds me out.

I don’t like change.

But maybe I can go somewhere during Winter break since it’s so long…  Vegas if I don’t get to it in September? Hockey game [attn: Katie]? Europe? Japan? Hawaii? New York [properly]?
