,r fe: The 'royal we' with Rob and Kevin — It’s untimely warm for this time of year, but we are in South Carolina. So our three weeks of true win ter have come and gone, and we now look upon the sizzling and miserable summer that is ahead. It’s that damn groundhog. Why does he always have to ruin it for us in the end? On a side note, why do we celebrate Groundhog Day? Think about it for a second... there, do you not see how ridiculous it is to set aside an entire day just to see what a rodent will say about the weather? Now do you understand why the Canadians laugh at us? Anyway, where were we? Oh yeah, summer is on the way. But first, we have spring (or “summer’s com ing”)! Yes, the season that can’t really make up its mind will be here shortly if it isn’t already. So what does this mean for us in the scholastic sense? It means no class for a week! That’s right, we pay a heap of money to come to this fine establish ment of higher learning and then relish when we can get a break from it. The aspect of self-conscious con sumerism really doesn’t apply to us college kids. But to avoid getting sidetracked for the second time (too late!), we would like to look ahead to the luxury of spring break. We’ve been in school for two months straight. We, personally, have not been home since the end of the Christmas break, so we are look ing forward to a week in good old Georgetown. You see, we take the word “break” in spring break as a cue to relax for a few days, gather your wits and prepare for the home stretch that is March and April. We won’t do anything extravagant. Kevin will play with his pup py, and Rob will play Super Mario Brothers. ouiue ui yuu win laugn at uiib luea. vjci uui aiiu do something,” you scream. And perhaps you’re right. When else in our (rapidly dwindling) young adult fives will we be able to indulge in the finer things for a week sandwiched between the brutal reality of responsi bility and accountability? Not for a long while, we pre sume. But guess what? This stirs us not at all. Because while many of you look at this upcoming week as an opportunity to release whatever frustrations you have, we simply look at it as a chance to sleep late and goof off. You take the word “break” as a cue to break your bank account and your energy. You’ll hop on some discount jet to some remote, tropical location where you will spend time and money in overcrowd ed hotels, clubs, beaches and bars. You’ll meet strange new people who are hellbent on one (or two) things. You’ll forget about these people as you try to extend your personal drinking record to three days (up a full day from your previous record). (Flash to Georgetown) Here we’ll be, stomach ing the smell of the paper mill, catching up with our family and taking the occasional drive to Charleston or Myrtle Beach, just for a change of scenery. We will spend a lot of “quality time” with the family at home, having very little ambition to do much of anything. Wfe’ll have clean laundry, a free place to stay and stom achs filled with the wonderful food of Mom and Dad. Wfe’ll come back to Columbia revived, rested and ready for whatever exams we have ahead. You 7/return to reality with an empty wallet, an empty head and nothing but vague memories of what you think might have been the greatest week of your life. You’ll get back to town Sunday night, you’ll try to get some “quality” sleep before your first class, but you’ll have to do laundry while studying for your chemistry midterm. You fight physical and men tal exhaustion as you try to absorb knowledge for the first time in seven days. Not to knock your decisions, because we all know it’s your choice. More power to you, but we obviously differ in our opinions, here. So we would just ask that you not fall on us when you try to get to your seat in class. We understand the sunburn makes moving around tough, but we’re trying to glance at our notes one last time.
