My school has what they call "J Term," which is this: During January, there are hardly any classes for "regular" students. Instead, they hold a bunch of seminars and certificate classes. Most students, including myself, take this opportunity to have an extra long winter break.
Between January 4 and 19, my wife and I took advantage of the extra time off to visit our families in Utah. I had to also take the time off from my internship, but sometimes the sacrifices are worth it. :)
It was great. We visited both my family and hers, and we also had a chance to visit some friends. It was pretty low key other than that.
I did take the chance to send my resume out to a few companies, and even got an offer for when I graduate in May! And, as of today, another place that I sent my resume out to called to express some interest.
So, as always, life is good.
