I'm going to Boston, hanging out with Jon and Rachel and seeing the Dropkick Murphys possibly twice (second time with Ted Leo/Rx).

Holy shit!

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.

Well that sucks.

Quote from: Blue Kitty on 13 Feb 2008, 23:38

For clarification purposes, who has Spring Break in February?

Mine technically starts on March 3rd, as that's the first day there is no class (Monday), but I leave for my trip on Friday the 29th.

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.

Most of the ones I have applied for are lab assistants, retail (everything from JoAnn ETC, where I worked before, to Hot Topic and Macy's and JC Penny), stocking and restocking (also retail), cashiers, grocery baggers, office assistants, personal assistants, Star Bucks, Border's, Barnes & Noble, and tech support. I can't get manager positions or anything above entry-level because of lack of experience, and I do not have a degree for anything more "professional". I'm almost desperate enough to go back to summer camp jobs. Pretty much the only place left for me to apply is like McDonald's.

I am mostly blaming the area, because it is a college town and so everyone already has student employees.

I know you don't get drunk, miss! I was trying to be funny with my mtv spring break (woo!) reference. All you STLF kids are good. I mean that in a nice way, by the way.

Yay for me!

You should come to one of our meetings, Thursdays at 8 in Sudro 21. They are a lot of fun! Tonight we played Big Booty and had a paper chain making contest. My team dominated.

Last year, I had a chemistry field trip to acapulco which coinceded with Spring Break. I would rank it as one of the most significant events in my conversion to misantropy.

i am maybe going to istanbul! exciting!

If you are going to Amsterdam next week then it will be freaking cold. I just about froze to death when I visited there, and it was around the same time of year.

European people/people in Europe have good excuses though - it is much easier to travel around in Europe once you are already there.

And you are doing good things on your spring break! Be happy!

I'll only be there overnight, it's the one stop we have when we're going back to Fargo from San Antonio. So technically I will be going to Wichita but I will never really see the town aside from out a bus window.

ForteBass · « **Reply #73 on:** 16 Feb 2008, 09:25 »

Spring break. Pah! I don't get a spring break. I will be here on campus, working my butt off too make sure these damn kids have something nice to come back to!

Well I won't really be there long enough to do anything. We'll be getting there at nine or so on Friday night, staying overnight, doing a service project, and leaving for Indianapolis before noon.

fair enough. too bad though, it's a fun city.

Liz · « **Reply #78 on:** 17 Feb 2008, 16:03 »

I think it's called spring break because it takes place during the spring semester. It's definately not spring here in Fargo yet and I will be leaving in less than two weeks; when I look out my window this is what I see:

Liz · « **Reply #79 on:** 17 Feb 2008, 16:43 »

Oh you are sooo funny.

Also that is untrue because none of the movie was actually filmed in Fargo.

Liz · « **Reply #80 on:** 17 Feb 2008, 16:49 »

Thank you.

Also, here is the hotel I get to stay at in San Antonio and oh boy am I excited.

Liz · « **Reply #81 on:** 17 Feb 2008, 16:53 »

That's only because pretty much everything in this area looks exactly the same.

Plus I just watched it again and saw nothing familiar at all. The only thing I noticed were the absolutely horrid accents that some of them had. It was painful.

Oh man guys, I will be staying at the same hotel Sam stayed at.

You can all be jealous now.

There's nothing great about spring break. It's too cold.

Quote from: Sam on 17 Feb 2008, 17:13

also, if you going to have time in the morning to eat, go to the ruta maya location they just opened in san antonio. it's a close walk from the hotel, inexpensive ($3-5 for a large muffin+coffee) , and hells of delicious.

I think we should have the time. We'll be in San Antonio from Wednesday afternoon until Friday morning, so if we can't get there for breakfast we'll definately be able to go at some point.

So if you know of any other good restaurants or cool places to visit, I am taking suggestions.

ampersandwitch · « **Reply #86 on:** 17 Feb 2008, 18:01 »

Also, I forgot to mention that for the first half of spring break, I will be ushering my friend (whom I will hereafter refer to as "perfect friend") around London because she booked a ticket last year and invited herself as soon as she heard I was accepted to a school here.
Anybody got any ideas? So far I've got "go to Hyde Park/introduce her to Sexy Professor/ice skating at The Museum of Natural History/take her to the London Eye and push her out because she is so frucking perfect all the time."
It just feels like something is missing, y'know?
After my parents pick me up, she is going to stay with her burly boyfriend who looks a little like fred durst not sayin, just sayin in Grosvenor, where she will presumably stay inside for the rest of her stay.
Four days - what is necessary to do in London?

ampersandwitch · « **Reply #87 on:** 17 Feb 2008, 18:09 »

Also maybe Camden Town.

Who wants to take me to Acapulco? Over Spring Break? Please?

dozyrozy · « **Reply #92 on:** 19 Feb 2008, 08:48 »

This is my first, and last spring break (since I'm only studying in America for one year) and I am very excited about it!!

We were going to go to Acapulco, but now me and a few friends are going skiing for the first half of the week in West Virigina, then we're going to a cheerleading competition in South Carolina because my friend's team from Australia are coming to compete. Woo! We're going to cheer cheerleaders!! I know skiing isn't the usual thing to do for spring break, no sun sea sand, etc, but it'll be good (I hope) as long as I don't break anything...

valley_parade · « **Reply #93 on:** 19 Feb 2008, 10:03 »

You can ski in West Virginia? Really?

jhocking · « **Reply #94 on:** 19 Feb 2008, 10:16 »

Well it's really mountainous what with the Appalachians and all, and there's plenty of snow this time of year, so...

What surprised my fiancee (who's from West Virginia, natch) is that there's skiing in Wisconsin. Several mountains no less!

dozyrozy · « **Reply #95 on:** 19 Feb 2008, 11:13 »

Yeah, there are quite a few ski resorts there. Our uni organised a few trips this term so we're going on that one. I've never been before and I'm pretty scared (and excited!) anyone got any handy hints?

The proper way to get off a ski lift is to raise the tips of your skis as you get near the landing point, and when they hit the ground simply stand up and let the chair push you forward.

dozyrozy · « **Reply #98 on:** 19 Feb 2008, 11:28 »

Thanks, I'll try to remember that, getting off ski lifts and avoiding trees. Check. I've been told that the key if you've never done it before is to look as though you've never done it before so that people will avoid you. So I'm planning on lots of padding, a helmet and a sign on my back that says 'Steer Clear!!'

Oh my God. I am going to die. I'm sure of it. Or at least break something major on the first day. Do you think I would get the rental money back if that happened? Meh. Maybe I should just stick to sledging.
