Speaking of years in the past, have you guys ever had a "wood vacation"?

This happens when the winter is very cold, yet your school cannot afford to buy fuel for heating, so everyone is forced to go on a break (until the weather gets warmer). In 1997, my wood vacation lasted a whole month (the entire February).

Why is it called "wood"? Because this phrase was coined at a time when wood was the fuel used for heating (around the time of WW2).

Man, I must really be getting old if I remember such things. Nowadays, there are no wood vacations anymore... all schools are supplied with gas or diesel.

You won't believe how much time I spent playing Diablo 2 at college - probably more time than studying :P
