<p>For Thanksgiving break this year, I booked my flight home for Wednesday afternoon. However, when the week of Thanksgiving rolled around, I found out that many people just missed class all week, because nothing important happened in most classes for the days preceding Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>Is this by any chance also the case for either the 4-day weekend over Presidents’ Day, or spring break (i.e. it’s no problem to miss class for any extra days)?</p>
<p>D's experience last year was that on Presidents Weekend, she had so much work already assigned that she couldn't come home. Spring Break is Monday through Friday, so there are really no extra days, and it was the same thing as far as the "so much work." I would not plan on cutting out early. Thanksgiving happens in the middle of the week and Winter Break is the end of the semester. Maybe that's why it felt different.</p>
<p>OK thanks... too bad :(</p>
