Holidays are for commies and terrorists. REAL AMERICANS never sleep, never give up, never surrend... I feel I'm quoting something, but I'm just not sure what.
Oh yeah. We also have school on MLK Day. There's always a been big fuss about that, though I suspect for a good deal of the students they just wanted the time off to get drunk. Januaries (Januarys? Januari?) are weird at Centre. And there'd be classes on Memorial Day as well except Centre gets out in mid-May.
We also have classes on the other federal holidays, except Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Years, and everything in the summer.
(I'd meant to add this to an edit to the comment, but you went and replied.)
