Winter Break 2009/10

lucifer_sam · 12-07-2009, 09:33 AM

Obviously exclusive to us northern hemispherites.

Anybody have any plans for winter break this year? I've got 3 1/2 weeks off school forthcoming and I'm looking to spend them wisely in the company of some good friends. Obviously I'm going to have to spend at least a nominal amount of time in presence of my family, but if all goes well I plan on squeezing at least two ski trips in and spending New Year's Eve as far away from my home as possible.

What does everybody else have on schedule for themselves?

My break is from Dec. 10th - Jan. 25th so I have a lot of time to do some writing and reading. I'm going up to Vancouver from Dec. 21st - Jan. 4th so that will eat up some of my break. I'm actually not really looking forward to such a long break, it'll more than likely get me out of my study habit that I worked so hard to obtain this semester and... well it's just too much time off.

I'm taking two weeks off, flying to Houston to see family and friends from Dec. 21st to January 1st. I'll have a weekend to myself here before and and one after the trip, which will be nice in order to clean house and pack before the trip, and relax after the trip before returning to work.

My winter break will almost completely consist of hanging out with my friends.
I live way too far away for them to visit them or for me to go home often.
And I plan on spending a lot of time out of the house.
I want a tattoo, and I hope my daddy comes wif me. [=
The end.

Winter break? What's that?

Seriously though, my one day off of work will probably be spent cooking, pondering my future, and catching a movie. I like to keep it simple.

What part of Houston you visiting sidewinder?

Spring/Woodlands, Katy/Cypress, Missouri City/Sugarland, and inner loop hopefully to get out of the boring suburbs! Even if it's just to cruise around, see what's changed, hit up a few shops, etc.

Good gawd, you're going to be all over the place. Sounds like most of your time is going to be spent driving.

I'm not sure how long you've been away (even though I'm quite sure you've mentioned it before) but alot has changed in all those places in the last few years. Anything inside the loop with be fun though, as usual.

Hope you have a great time anyway!

Ha, no joke!

I just remembered, if for any reason my best friend can't make it into town from Beaumont, I'll have to go over there and hunt him down! Let's hope not, as I sure as hell don't want to be in Beaumont for any reason. And I haven't even sorted out what I'm going to do for a car yet...hopefully borrow my sister's if she can get me added on her insurance as a temp driver.

I'm not too too interested in seeing what's changed in the burbs, except for maybe Spring/Woodlands since I lived there, but mostly inside the loop where it's more exciting. What part of town are you in?

Ugh…Bore-mont. I hope you don’t have to go there either.

I live in Spring Branch…or as I affectionately like to call it, the Durty Branch. Despite the trash and the weekly shootings, I like it well enough. It’s close to Downtown and all the freeways. Kinda in the middle of everything ya know? I used to live in Spring myself…absolutely loved it there. Except for traveling 1960.

I'm staying with my family from the 18th to January 10th-ish. Not got a lot in the way of plans except doing a whole lot of work, so I'm guessing I'll be spending most of my time with Microsoft Word.
