Here, we get a few months off between late may and late august.  Then, we have two semesters, one from August to early december and one from late january to late may, with about a week off for thanksgiving (mid late november) and a week off for spring break (sometime in march).  Are you talking about the thanksgiving/spring break holidays(easter/ spring break for you)?  Do you have like a month off between semesters?  When is that?

No drug addiction.

Yeah, specifically our christmas break is generally from late november to beginning of march, then there's a week or two break at easter, a longer break between semesters around june and another week break around august. That's the general thing anyway, it varies a little in some courses (for instance last year my break was from mid november to mid jan) and school kids tend not to have as long breaks as universities (go figure).

[KeithHernandez]

Yeah, the school kids things works that way here too.  It always bugged me.  Also, in elementary school (like 5 years old to 13) you go later than High School, that bugged me a lot in high school.  This is coming from a guy who only stays at his job cause the earliest I ever have to be there is 10, though I have to work both weekend days which is getting really fuck*ng grating.

my first class started at 8am through elementary, then 7:20am for middle school, then 6:45am for high school. each school day was about 8 hours including lunch; my assumption is to condition us suburbanite milquetoastians to getting up early for work, with the side benefit of letting the high school kids get to work before 5pm when dinner shift started (allowing for, or in lieu of, certain different extracurriculars: if you played a sport, you couldn't have a job).

in college i tended to work about 50 hours a week, 15 of which were directly for the school to pay room & board; the rest gave me spending money.

these days i work 11am-8pm. i'm not terrifically happy about that.

some weird company I have never heard of found my resume on monster.com and wants me to apply. what? do I want to live in madison wisconsin? probably not. What?

I agree that so many parts of the country are very pedestrian unfriendly. I love walking, and especially riding my bike, but when the roads are designed with no sidewalk and zero shoulder what am I supposed to do? I'm sorry automobile that you have to slow down a bit and drive around me but I'm zero emissions, bitch.

Also, I had a blast tripping last weekend. After the nutty peak friends and I went down to the creek and waded in the cold-as-fuck springfed water during that 3-4am witching hour, then just laid in the dewey grass and had our minds blown by the geometric patterns in the stars.

Also I queued up Trout Mask Replica on the PA and FREAKED everyone out for a good 90 min. or so. Those dudes were totally used to the jam-band school of psychedelia and were totally unprepared for the run out in the desert and watch yourself eating the back of your own head style.

I'm pretty sure that Trout Mask Replica is the pinnacle of Western Civilization.  It's all been downhill from there.

My childhood best friend lives in Madtown, and she adores it. Give it some thought; I can put you in touch with her if you want more info on the town or company.

I was in Milwaukee in April and thought it was great.

when reading that email more-sober, I realize that they obviously have not read my resume. "Talented Programmers Wanted." Nope! Not even a non-talented programmer!

last night, I was taking my trash out, and a guy walked up to deposit his trash right when I was picking a few bottles out of the dumpster to put in the recycling bin. he thought I was a homeless person, and offered me his bottles to return for the deposit. I mean, I guess not many people take out their trash at 3 AM.

this is one case where having a roomba is not cool.

What historical event was being reenacted, exactly?

The BP oil spill?
