The Daily's 10 days of break
December 9, 2004
In honor of our upcoming holiday break, The Daily has a few suggestions on how to fill the wonderful class-less days ahead. While we could have arranged them within the context of a delightful holiday jingle, we opted, however, for a 'study guide' of sorts, appealing to the format you'll most likely be staring at for the next week.
1) Go ice-skating at Seattle Center.
2) Support your Husky sports teams.
3) Fill your roommate's stocking with candy cane reindeer.
4) Watch the entire Indiana Jones trilogy, beginning to end. Then change your major to archaeology.
5) Kiss someone underneath the mistletoe. First, check to make sure you're not related.
6) Make cut out paper snowflakes. Hang them everywhere.
7) Sleep for days. Wake up and grumble unintelligibly.
8) Continue to deny global warming. Go sledding at Snoqualmie.
9) Plan a Jamaican vacation (i.e. turn up the heat in your apartment, put on some reggae, make pina coladas, watch old episodes of Gilligan's Island and go tanning afterwards just to prove it).
10) Avoid the mandatory annual conversations with your relatives by taking them to Wes Anderson's latest film, The Aquatic Life, starring Bill Murray.
11) Have a "safe" New Years.
12) Eat, drink and be merry, while you can. Classes resume Jan. 3.
Happy Holidays from The Daily's editorial board.

I think this website is ugly.
