We are currently in the middle of Farch, and I hate it. Not only do we have no days off, but this weekend is the SAT and in these past two weeks a have had a test in the majority of my classes.

I propose that we have a day or two off around this time to break up the monotony of Farch. While it is only 40 days it comes at the worst possible time. After we come back from winter break we have so many days off in January and early February that the rare occurrence is to have a full week of school. And then all of a sudden, it stops…

This picture above is from the one fun activity I have done since Farch started, Andrew and I went hiking up in Santa Barbara, on a Monday afternoon no less.

So please, if anyone reads this who has a say in how or days off are allocated, and there are many with all the budget cuts, please throw one or two of them into the soul sucking eternity that is Farch.
