At the risk of subbing you for the butler, could you let me know when that is finalized? I'm definitely interested and i'm too lazy to follow the facebook chat. :)

Please remind me to NOT watch the Tiger Woods "press" conference. I do not care.

How long is the course?

I wouldn't mind Jr/Sr. yrs, but wouldn't want freshman or sophomore. And absolutely not 4-8th grade :td:

No, but I'll come with you if you need a chaperone :D:D:D

I do not like hormonal mean girls either, and it seems that they get younger and younger ....:rolleyes:

Note to self: ditch family, move to Texas, rent small, cheap apartment, give up cell phone and all electrical appliances. Travel for rest of life. :D:D:D

Wow, Amazon issued me a refund on a mistaken shipping charge within about 4 minutes of me writing customer service.:-::-:^

Bless you, Brituchenite, and anyone else who feels that way. I'm about six-of-one-half-dozen-of-other on the relative merits of HS and college, but that is it.

Many of these are weekend (or long, holiday weekend) trips, with PER/LEA being the exception. I haven't taken a week off for spring break since I started school. As this will be my last opportunity to do so, I'm burning a week of vacation time to check out Western Australia, which generally takes so long to get to, that even a 3 or 4 day weekend isn't enough.

I've never not been on the academic calendar, so it is nice to have (relatively) lots of vacation time. Of course, the corollary to that is that the vacation days are completely fixed (i.e. no "pick your own spring break").

Free rent, no utility bills, minimal driving...oh wait, yeah, still paying off the car (not to mention the student loans). Ah, that's when the travel budget will get a nice little boost. Too bad it's 2 years away. :(

It also doesn't help that I'm bleeding money into NJ Transit. $25 (ticket + parking) every time I go to NYC, and it's only a couple dollars less to drive.

Sigh...

Cool! Not sure if I will be out of town that week (see earlier re: spring break) but if not, count me in!
