My wife Tanya just finished her Christmas break. Those who think it's a two-week vacation should think again. The first week was relatively relaxing, but by the second week she was staying up until 2 and 3 in the morning catching up on grading papers, posting grades and planning lessons for this first week of the spring semester. She spent both all day the last Saturday and Sunday of the Christmas break up at school, getting ready, and still stayed up awfully late doing more paperwork.
I don't quite call that a break, do you?
