There are two primary joys of spring break - leaving town/work for a few days to do something totally different or the same at a different pace, and the social reconvening the night before classes.
Last night, people were trickling back into town and gravitating to the Gator, which is our bar of choice. I didn't even realise how many people were there until I got there and saw the whole crowd. Everyone was excited to see people, had new things to talk about instead of rehashing old bitcheries, very relaxed. Somehow the drinks just tasted better, the jokes were funnier, and all was right in the world. There were lots of drinks, group shots, and plans to sell plasma to the vampires in a pyramid scheme.
Winter quarter is notoriously crappy and a thing to survive, so if people weren't glad to be back, they were at least glad it was no longer winter quarter. There's plenty of work to do this quarter, but more people want to play, and take dance lessons. Woo! In the meantime, I have two books to finish, a CFP to submit and a syllabus to develop. Ideally by tomorrow. *snerk*
