Vacation A nyone?
Well, kids, here we go for
our first vacation. Excited? Me,
too! I can’t wait to get home
and see my cat! Just think—a
long weekend. Sounds heaven

sure will come slowly, I bet.
Wonder how many classes vrill

bet your bottom dollar it’ll be
most of ’em. From what I

everybody, especially at meal
time.
And, too, it’s the semester
break, so make those final test
grades good, kids. Most of the
professors will try to get a few
more grades in, so be prepared
by all means! Just think—you
can even bring your winter
clothes back with you and be
warm for a change! Those ole’
radiators won’t get the best of
you then, will they?
So, go home and enjoy your
vacation and hurry back on
Sunday so you can start count
in’ the days before Thanks
giving Holidays.
