Selling Sno-Cones at the Beach

over and out

Does it count as vacation if you are frantically cleaning your house for friends to stay in while you're gone, packing like a fiend, cleaning up the end-of-semester paperwork, and trying to remember every little thing that "needs" to be done before you leave your home for 2 weeks?

If it does, I'm on vacation. The Polish final was fine, despite the fact that it required the use of some verbs that I discovered about a half hour previous to the exam that I should have learned (and didn't), and that the oral consisted of chitchat about my Christmas earrings (which I didn't understand) and use of the past tense (which we haven't learned yet).

Anyway. A little packing, and we're off. B was a good boy and mailed stuff to our various destinations this morning. I got the three books I "plan" to read in the next two weeks. I should be ready to sleep in about an hour.

Happy holidays to all!
