It's that time of year again, folks. Spring break is just around the corner for those of us that are in school or molding young minds, a.k.a. teaching, Mr. Hocking.

Who's going on a trip? Where are you going? Post it here and perhaps you will discover that some forumite resides in that very place and you can meet and have epic make-outs hang-outs and good times. Or maybe someone else has been there before and they can give you travel tips and recommendations for restaurants, museums, and other fun things to do.

I am going to Texas on a trip through my university called the Pay it Forward Tour. So if you live in Madison, Indianapolis, Memphis, Shreveport, Galveston, San Antonio, or Wichita, I will be in your city!

[Liz]

That's Mardi Gras, Tommy. Please try again!

[Boro_Bandito]

I actually have no idea when my spring break is. But that would be the most likely time that I could make it to New York for one reason or another, either that or a long weekend coming up since I am NOT gonna try and visit again on a normal weekend, because the bus trip up there is not worth it without a strong drink awaiting me at the other end.

But anyway any of these so called plans of mine can be referred to the Pre-Tronnocon: NY thread.

[Lines]

Same here. I will be spending most of mine in New York. The week before that, as I doubt I'll have more than one exame actually during exam week, I'll be hanging out with the people who are home for their spring break, as mine usually falls a week after everyone else's.

[sean]

That's Mardi Gras, Tommy. Please try again!

No, no, if you go to a beach in Florida, you're allowed to flash your boobs at people.

I'm going to Rome the week of St. Paddy's day! It will be lovely!

[Liz]

Well, I will not be at a beach in Florida, so this matters not. I will be at a beach in Texas!

[Lines]

I'm sure Texans like boobs too!

[redglasscurls]

If things go correctly with my tax returns and whatnot, I'll hopefully be camping in New Mexico over spring break:D I've never been west, so this is super exciting!

[Liz]

What is there to do in New Mexico? Aside from trying to find the alien spacecraft in Roswell, that is.

[BrittanyMarie]

But Liz, SPRING BREAK (WOO) is where college students get really drunk and flash their boobies/junk at people*. Haven't you ever seen those MTV SPRING BREAK (WOO) shows? Tis cool you're volunteering instead though.

I might go to Phoenix with my friend Clay. Usually our spring break coincides with SXSW, but not this year- probably because this is the first year I've been 21 and everything conspires against me.


*just a normal weekend for some of us

[redglasscurls]

New Mexico has desert camping and way better weather than Maryland in early April

[Liz]

Desert camping, interesting. And warm weather is hooray!

Also, Brittany, I do no get drunkz. Spring break or not. So the drunken boobie flashing is doubly not going to happen. I would much rather volunteer my time to clean up road ditches and parks and help disabled people.

[calenlass]

I have spring break plans for the 1-8 of march and also a long weekend or two later in the month.

[Liz]

Done. I hope you are happy now.

[Ozymandias]

Wait, New Mexico?

Whereabouts? City of Rocks is pretty awesome if you want desert camping. Lots of desert.

[ampersandwitch]

Greece.





With my parents.

[Liz]

I hate you a little right now.

[tania]

my reading week is from february 18-22. i am ridiculously behind in all my classes and my friends with money are running off to countries where there isn't like three feet of snow on the ground. guess what i'm going to be doing next week!

(hint: it's reading)

[KvP]

I might be going to Greece and Italy. It's all up in the air right now. If that doesn't happen I'll probably stop by Memphis for a few days.

[greenMonkey]

EPIC COLLEGE VISITS OF DEATH.

I am visiting a plethora of colleges in the midwest and on the east coast.  But I have to wait until the end of March...

[Johnny C]

Tania, my reading week is next week as well, but I'm not behind in my classes. Or I don't care about them. I can't remember which.

However, I will be spending next week going to concerts, going to work, and playing lots of video games.

[Liz]

Which concerts? Also, which video games? We need to know these things, sir.

[Skibas_clavicle]

My "spring break" aka reading week starts this upcoming Monday. I am heading to Montreal to hang with some good friends of mine and ruin my brain. If any MTL peoples see this, send me a pm and we can chill. However, I must warn you I am planning for this to be the most debaucherous week of my life.

[Slick]

I would post a picture of me, topless, but I think the novelty has kind of worn off, and I just got two facebook warnings (for posting a picture where everything was covered in a group about voting naked for the student elections!) so my spirit is a little crushed regarding exhibitionism.
My spirit is also a little crushed regarding everything anyways, but that's probably because I'm giving up coffee, that foul temptress.

Anyways, I'll be heading up North with a friend to his family's cottage, where we will hang out, make music, hopefully go cross-country skiing, maybe build a snow fort or something, and maybe even finish the first hull of his catamaran.

[calenlass]

Slick I will never tire of bearing witness to your exhibitionism. <3

[thehollow]

My break is sometime in mid-march. I don't really have anything planned, and I don't know if I'm going to go back home or spend it here. The problem is, the town my school's in is really boring over breaks when no students are around, and going home would be equally as boring because none of my friends are going to be in town, due to vacations and study abroad and such.

I might go visit my brother at his school for some of the time, but he'd still be going to class and such so I'd have large parts of the day where I'd have to occupy myself, which I suppose is doable. If I end up just staying here I'll probably just play video games and watch movies. I should really use it to start working on some of the big term papers I have but I know that's not likely to happen.

[captain zoe]

I think my break is like, the third week of March or somewhere about there.  I have no idea what I'm doing.  Most likely nothing.  Sitting on my ass.  I wish I was doing something cool like going to New York to see some shows, but I don't think that's going to happen unless plane tickets, hotel accommodations, and show tickets mysteriously fall on me from above.  Wouldn't that be nice.

[Blue Kitty]

Michigan, jack shit.  Hopefully it will be warm

for what ever reason I keep thinking the title of the thread is Spring Break! Horror!

[tania]

I will be spending next week going to concerts, going to work, and playing lots of video games.

i have guitar hero three!... but no one to play it with.
also, can you believe there are like zero shows in guelph during reading week?! well i guess i can, all the students are going home. still, this sucks.

[Johnny C]

Zero shows? Honest to blog? What you need to do is host a show. In your house.

I am playing like a dozen video games at the moment, I think?

I'll also be reading The Buddha Of Suburbia by Hanif Kareshi. Good book so far.

[jhocking]

Spring break is just around the corner for those of us that are in school or molding young minds, a.k.a. teaching, Mr. Hocking.

Thing is, I teach at multiple schools and their spring breaks are all different, so there's no single week I have off, just one fewer class to teach on those weeks. Besides, knowing myself I'll forget it's spring break and show up to teach anyway.

[tania]

yeah it is actually really ridiculous. cfru sends me e-mails every week that include shows coming to guelph in the upcoming few months so programmers can mention them or play those bands or whatever if they'd like, and between february 14th and 24th there's just this massive gap. it is so depressing.

i'm thinking more and more as work piles up that i'm just going to make tronnocon my big yearly holiday/spring (summer?) break/drunken irresponsibility whatever holiday and get it all out in one go. i want to say this will be fun for everyone but actually i'm not really sure. it might be terrifying.

[michaelicious]

The Sadies are playing at Vinyl on the 24th.

[roadkillnecrophiliac]

I do so little at school that it actually doesn't really matter whether it's spring break.

The only thing I want to do is organize a huge party to celebrate my ashtray collection. I want to have 100 different ones, I now have 70. So yeah, 30 to go till I am allowing myself to throw a party.

[Johnny C]

The Sadies are playing at Vinyl on the 24th.

Well, now you have no excuse, Tania.

[michaelicious]

They do put on a pretty bitchin' show, but they always seem to draw a pretty shitty crowd.

[jimbunny]

Michigan, jack shit.  Hopefully it will be warm

And by 'warm' surely you mean 'above freezing.'

I'm just bitter because I'm stuck here for winter.

[Blue Kitty]

For clarification purposes, who has Spring Break in February?
And, who has Spring Break when it is actually spring, aka near the end of April?

[thehollow]

My break is generally the week before easter, so it varies a great deal.

[Storm Rider]

I felt suddenly disinterested with this thread about halfway through. I have no idea why.

[tania]

man if i didn't have so much work to do and a job and stuff i'd probably legitimately hop on a bus and go play video games in saskatchewan with john for a week. i guess there's always next year!

READING WEEK 2009: THE ONE WHERE TANIA SHOWS UP AT YOUR FRONT DOOR AND PLAYS YOUR VIDEO GAMES AND MAKES YOUR LIFE KIND OF INCONVENIENT FOR A LITTLE WHILE

[Johnny C]

I'm actually surprisingly okay with this idea. I'm having someone over for a full day of Mass Effect at some point during the next ten days so it's no big leap to open my home to a furry friend from Guelph for a full week.

[Jimmy the Squid]

Jeez you guys and your "spring break". I go back to uni on February 25th! To be fair though, I've been on holidays since late November last year.

[David_Dovey]

Pssh, Jeez Jimmy, I had two weeks off over Christmas from my course.

Uni students are fucking scum.

[Inlander]

Only 'cause they're all horny and the scum's a cheap drunk.

[Jimmy the Squid]

Well it's not as if I sit around doing nothing! Up until like two weeks ago I used to call people on the phone and have them yell abuse at me for hours at a time! I recently got a cool promotion though, so I'm just sitting at a computer typing while listening to my iPod.

tl;dr Fuck you Dovey.

[Lunchbox]

Man, don't any of you people have proper jobs?


(I'm not jealous at all)

[calenlass]

Maybe my 15th job application this month will generate some kind of feedback. You know, the 57th one I have filled out in the past year.

[Jimmy the Squid]

Katie, love, it looks like you might have to deal with the fact that you are unemployable.

On the upside, you can have spring break all the time!

[redglasscurls]

Katie, are you applying for all the same sorts of jobs? Maybe you are over/under qualified? Anyway, everyone knows that it really doesn't matter how suited for the job you are, what matters is that you know someone who works there already.
