Spring Break Is Here

“The bell just rung and the kids are out the door. Time to get home, pack up and head to the hills, Monongahela NF in WV. Maybe we'll cross plaths. Y'all have a great weekend.”

“Cool, which part of the forest are you heading off to? I always liked the area around the Williams River.”

“Sylvia Plaths? j/k

I'd be going somewhere for next week's break, but we have it interrupted by an in-service all day Monday. Probably use it to catch up on grading and sleep.”

“.... too bad i gotta work on my thesis all freakin week”

“What's the thesis about? You wanna use a chapter from my dissertation? :-) Imagine Phil has a recent paper, too! :-)”

“LOL!

It's about serial killers and profiling”

“Can't help you there. My dissertation is on Marital Satisfaction.



On second thought, maybe it IS related! LOL!”

“Yes, I know. I have already received a request for money from my college daughter.”

“mark, too funny!!!

ns, can i have some too?”

“Yep. I'm getting ready for next week in the Smokies with the scouts.”

“

"ns, can i have some too?"
ScorchFire

"too?" Did I say that I sent her any?"”

“poor girl”

“Of course you did. It's all in good parenting to send your kids money for spring break. After you give her a big check, you can call my parents and tell them of your deed. Kind of encourage them a little.


Oh yea, since I'm going to Vegas, I'm willing to gamble for people. Send me a couple hundred and I'll try and turn it into more. Can't promise results tho...”

“Ha! And I just received a deposit request from the college for next fall.

Only those students who have made the advance deposit by April 1, 2004, and paid all outstanding student account balances, will be eligible to participate in pre-registration for fall classes and room drawings. Pre-registration and room draw occur in April.

SS only goes so far! And she has quite a Spring Break planned. Should I send the check to her and let her decide on her vacation or her senior year in college?”

“you should send your winnings from vegas to me and i'll invest them in the bank of melissa for you. can't promise that it'll stay stocked up with the cash though... i DO like to shop.”

“Well, I've been working on my thesis all day today (my first day off from classes for spring break) and I have 10 pages so far for my rought draft. Has to be between 20-40 plus a poster for the presentation. HATE THESIS!! My school is so backwards,.. undergrads shouldn't have to do a thesis.”

“You mean like ridin' around slow in a Cadillac through the hood?”

“no, like finding characteristics to what criminal you'd fit!”

“Scorch, send me the questionaire.”

“It is officially spring break and I am headed to Sypsey next week! Could life get any better? I don't understand why most teachers sit around and complain about being underpaid. Maybe we are...but the week off at Thanksgiving, two weeks at Christmas, week for spring break, and oh yeah three months in the summer make it hard for me to gripe too loud. Maybe if more teachers hiked...Anyway, I am looking at making my own hiking stick and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the process, wood, drying out process, etc. I know I should check past threads but I'm just too doggone excited...Spring Break!

Oh Yeah, Roll Tide! Stanford, You're NEXT!”

“my spring break wasn't all that great.. did my thesis all week”
