Don't you hate it when..

Christmas isn't our offical holiday,so we are busy these days.However, new year is coming, we now are enjoying our holiday. My superviser is an affable old man,he invite me for lunch with his wife today. It's a custom here,all my roommates are invited by their supervisers.

It does seem odd that some teachers assign homework even when there is a holiday break but I think they want to keep the information fresh in your mind. By assigning at least some work for you to do they help to keep you thinking about what you've learned in their class so you don't fall behind when you come back from the break. My nephew was also assigned homework over the break. I thought it was very funny to hear him say he had homework to do instead of saying I'm bored but once he opened his computer to do the research he did look rather busy. I'm sure he was surfing other sites once he was finished but at least he didn't complain about being bored.
