verbingnouns: Party time. <i>Excellent.</i>

July 25, 2003

Party time. Excellent.

As of four p.m., I'll be on vacation. Since this was the first year I wasn't in school, this is the first summer that I haven't had a real summer vacation. I guess this is what it's like to be a grown up: no 3 month summer break, no month off in winter, no spring break. A mere two weeks of vacation (plus a few bank holidays here and there) are all I get. Not that I'm complaining...I mean I do get paid to go on vacation: a concept that was completely foreign to me back in my student/waitressing days. I just have to be much more selective about when I take off. I guess it makes me appreciate vacation more.

Anyway, 2 of my friends will be here tomorrow and we'll spend some time here in the lovely Monroe metroplex, then we're off to New Orleans for a few days.

Now, if I can make it through the rest of the day at work....

you know teachers get the same breaks as students most of the time.

Yeah, but that would involve teaching, which I wouldn't mind if it weren't for the students.

Whats the word on Karokee (sp?).

karaoke? as in you singing to a pop song with out the lyrical track?

Posted by: dp at July 28, 2003 01:30 PM

Troy, I still haven't found out if they're having karaoke tonight. I'll call you as soon as I know.
And dp: yes. Singing and actin' a fool in front of all your friends is every bit as fun as it sounds...once a year anyway.

i know it is, but it was the poor quality of svenska's/troy's spelling that baffled me, not the idea that someone would actually attempt karaoke, as im sure it is fun once a year or more combined with supplemental alcohol.
