How to start planning for next year’s Spring Break todaj

their minds
quickly turn
back to con
centrating on

the things they have missed most
— schoolwork and schedules. Stu
dents are often so enthusiastic
about getting back into the class
room rut that they neglect proper
time to ponder ways to make next
year’s Spring Break even better.
Some topics to consider are
preparation for whatever trip you
may embark on, choosing various
locations to vacation and what to
do about the generous increase in
subject workload over the holi
days.
Spring Break traveling is becom
ing more and more impulsive. Stu
dents have been known to skip
town in search of adventure at the
slightest change in weather, at the
onset of boredom and on receiving
the results of paternity tests.
With regard to these travel
trends, the only real preparation
one must make for Spring Break is
to leave early. Of course, the defini
tion of “early” varies for each indi
vidual. Some believe that leaving
“early” means departing two to
three hours ahead of schedule. The
majority, however, consider “early”
to be two to three days ahead of
schedule.
One may experience some diffi
culty in helping his or her profes
sor to understand the need to leave
early. It is hard to convincingly ar
ticulate the complexity and puz
zling details of Spring Break travel.
One way of conveying this in
formation is to maintain eye con
tact with the professor and speak
clearly and firmly, occasionally
complementing his or her
physique.
At the end of the discourse, the
student should extend a hand in a
gesture of camaraderie and good
will — this last step usually in
volves losing $20 to $50 and, for
once, Aggie Bucks are not accept
ed.
The only other known method
of getting away with an “early” de
parture is to invest in the human
cloning industry. If one decides to
do so, make sure to create a clone
that is not overtly genetically mu
tated and yet looks remotely simi
lar to oneself.
Just imagine a conversation be
tween your professor and your not-
so-well-made clone.
your forehead?”
It is at this point that the clone
would spend a moment pointing
out the minute changes apparent
on the new twenty-dollar bill while
asking, “Have you been working
out?”
The next step to a terrific Spring
Break is location, location, loca
tion. A popular destination is the
beach, where many vacationers
spend the week working on their
tans, swimming and testing their
alcohol tolerance levels.
If vacationing in Galveston, a
group can easily stay entertained
all week by seeing who can walk
the beach and collect the most
