Christmas 1984 was an exciting one for me as I had just finished the first semester of my first year in college. I had been working really hard so the break during the holidays was very welcome. My school offered what was called a J-term meaning that during the month of January you had to take an intensive one month course. Only two J-terms were required to graduate so I decided that I'd give myself a break and take the month of January off for my freshman year. With the two weeks off for Christmas in December and the four weeks in January I had a total of 6 weeks off. It was a wonderful experience. I basically hibernated!
