I'm in a bit of a little bind here. Ok, maybe two little binds.
One of them concerns my Spring Break. THIS LYING PIECE OF S--- WEBSITE notified me that the vacation would be from April 5 to April 20. Bear in mind it is the official ministry of education's website. However, I guess this is sort of my problem for not checking in with each of my individual schools.
Apparently schools who are only in session four days a week (that'd be both of mine, since I get Wednesdays off) don't actually start their vacations until April 9. Well that's all good and fine, but I've already booked my flight for Germany leaving on April 7. So I'm going to have to ditch two days of school. Only the second time I've done so. However, I'm being smart here and am thinking up a worksheet to give the teachers to occupy the students' 30-45 minutes that would normally be spent with me.
The other bind is more of a deliberately self-imposed one. Temptation is luring me towards missing more school. You see, I think part of the reason we have two extra days of school to attend in April is due to the fact that we get so many random days off in May! Normally, I don't have to work Wednesdays. For some reason, we get May 8th off, which is a Thursday. At first I thought about doing something fun, but I'd have to work Friday, May 9th anyhow. But I'm tempted to play some hookie because we ALSO get off Monday, May 12th.
In theory, if I ditch just one day of school -- May 9th -- I'd be free from Tuesday afternoon until the following Monday night. Ummmm, vacation anyone?
It might be important to mention that I'm already breaking my contract 2.5 weeks early so I can make my sister's graduation ceremony at UCSB on June 14th....
What are they going to do, fire me?!

our lady at the inspection told us assistants work the 5 day week (since in theory i guess we could get classes on saturday), and we are only paid for that, so schools who are on the 4 day schedule and have classes during vacation WE DON'T WORK!! we are not paid to work those days so DON'T!! :D
not sure about your other problem, getting "sick" is always a good option, or maybe a doctors appointment for some unknown embarrassing condition you don't want to elaborate on.
vacation. easy choice. when do you get to go back to europe?
