Contrary to what I told my parents just before they left this weekend (they were visiting for two weeks), the dates for the spring congregation period are up — though the detailed schedule won’t be posted until February — and I can actually start making travel plans.
To my very pleasant surprise, spring congregation will be from May 23–30, which will give me a whole three weeks between finishing up work and school and all that jazz, and actually graduating. Three weeks of no responsibilities to anyone or anything? I am going to love it.
