- Today was the start of Fall Break at my university. While it is always a welcome event, this year it seemed like every last person on campus was desperate for its arrival.
- I posted mid-term grades for my undergraduates last week and weeded out three of them.
- Two went willingly but the third had to be told in no uncertain terms that she didn't stand a chance of passing.
- The rest of the class seems happier now. Students like decisive action as long as its not directed at them.
- b and Pupzilla and I wanted to spend Fall Break at a pet-friendly hotel on the beach but, alas, I waited to long and they were booked solid.
- The three of us will be going camping for a couple of days instead but first we doing the relax thing at home.
- I'm working on and off while I relax. I made the mistake of not working through Fall Break once.
- I have many books, thanks to my favorite used bookstore, that I can read over Fall Break.
- I am becoming a Jane Yolen junkie.
- Fall Break will not be long enough.

Enjoy your fall break!! :)
Happy fall break! I've just read my first Jane Yolen (The Devil's Arithmetic). She's a wonderful storyteller.
why, oh why, does my university not have a fall break?? It sounds like such an obvious choice. (at least though, I do have a conference coming up, which will at least be a break from teaching).
Enjoy your break!
Camping sounds great! Have a wonderful fall break. It sounds like you need it after the hectic semester.
