There are pros and cons to having school holidays. The definite pro is that you have more time to catch up with life. I had my hair cut (yes, it's even shorter now). I slept longer. I went to the doctor *and* the dentist. I went to the bank. I cooked. Days off give you a chance to take care of yourself and the people you love a little more.
The con is that the world goes on without you. People wait for you to send them forms or statements, and cannot for the life of them figure out why you aren't in your freaking office on a perfectly legitimate work day. On your end, you have to hold off on requests from your workmates, at least until school resumes, because it is a school holiday after all. Ah well, we're back now. Time to squeeze five days of work into three.
