Spring break was almost break-like

gwywnnyddOT: I've never understood why the break between winter term and spring term is called 'spring break'.
Possibly my confusion lies in the fact that I live in the land of the endless overcast drizzle. But the break between spring term and summer term TOTALLY feels more like spring break.
Aside from the daily arguing with Bug about his school (Yes, you really have to go to school this week. I know you don't want to, and I'm sorry I have to make you do something you don't want to do, but FFS get dressed already!), the break was awesome. Got some sewing done (I'm down to re-modifying one garb dress for Shifra, and then I'll have finished that project). Got my bike back in the wind (with many thanks to Rolf, who tweaked the thingy and made it go [please note careful use of technical terms], and promised to teach me how to do a u-turn). Got caught up on, like, 3 seasons of Supernatural. Got the tomato plants potted/ planted. Got topsoil on top of the grass seed in the back lawn (there needs to be more, but that's going to be an ongoing project).
Got out yesterday to a gathering of the ECCC volunteers, and am now all jazzed again for next year's comic con. I really can't decide if I want to do celebrity (assuming I can convince them I can be trusted not to drip fan-girl sqwee on the talent), or if I want to manage panels in the big room again (which got me in to almost a dozen panels of big names, which I got to watch WHILE I WAS WORKING. W00!). I have some time to decide, though.
Today, I'm actually going to get started on the reading for tomorrow's class. I may not be *done* with the reading by class tomorrow (8-10 chapters, in some dense books), but I'll have a good start. Which will be an improvement over every other term thus far =).
