there were the usual hallway rumors spreading around that we'd get out early cause the rain was gonna turn the roads all icy... but it didn't happen. a bunch of clubs were cancelled, thats it. long island is so boring weatherwise.

Westchesters not much better, it always cold in winter, sometimes it snows, and the school goes crazy.

Hey sorry to threadjack but NTG posted this earlier, but no one reviewed (at least not on this thread) Will you take a moment and read the new chapter for her Rent fic? Some feedback would be nice, and I'll relay it to her since she can't get on bww at the moment

Here in this cold white room tied up to these machines, it's hard to imagine life as it used to be. Laughing, screaming, tumbling queen... Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen. Whirling, swirling, never blue... How could you go and die? What a selfish thing to do... RIP Jason

enjoy those school breaks while you can...

one of the drawbacks of adulthood is - no winter/spring/christmas w/e breaks....

unless you teach!

We get the High Holy Days off at my school, and Christmas Eve through New Years. I don't care about having Chanukkah off. I want Passover off. We only get off for Passover if its the week before Easter, and we're usually cooking all day before dinner the first day.

My school's got a decent sized Jewish population, but we weren't off for the High Holidays... just "excused from classes." Classes still went on, but you were allowed to miss. Blah.

I use Chanukah or Chanukkah, depending. The "Ch" is closer to the Hebrew letter "chet"

my parents are being SO UNREASONABLE!

they won't let me rush rent & wicked on sunday. (if i don't win wicked, which i'm sure i won't, then i'm sure i'll win rent for a sunday matinee after the holidays) they won't let me go into nyc by myself, and they won't escort me there, cause neither of them want to see wicked again, and they're being closeminded and they don't want to see rent. no win situation.

Crap, I forgot to reload again. We don't get the high holidays off anymore, Fredi, so it's non-stop school except Thanksgiving. Makes for a lot of stressed students.
