Vacation ends

It's 2:40 on a Saturday and I'm sitting in bed. Partly because I'm still a little sick and partly because, well, I enjoy sleeping in.

But vacation is over. I'm just a few hours -- less than 48 -- away from returning to school. That means waking up at the crack of 10, rushing to campus for this term's 11 a.m. classes, and then spending the rest of the day, until at least 10 p.m., either in class or in the newsroom.

Breaks are scarce. Occasionally, we muster funding and transport for a mission to Taco Bell. But Corvallis, in a major city planning fiasco, has only one Taco Bell, which often means really long lines.

But I digress. I just wanted to take this moment to note that vacation time is great. Because you can sleep until 3 and not feel guilty about it.

Now what's for lunch?
