Foreign Concept!

Over the last few days I have had many people talk about a strange phenomenon called a "holiday". Apparently this 'holiday' is occuring right now. As I am currently at work I fail to see how this fits into the 'holiday' idea. I have heard the 'holiday' started on Friday. On that day I travelled to Owaka to train some youth for a national competition. I returned last night and got up today to work for Student Computing Services. Over the next week while most students take advantage of the 'holday' I will still be tutoring a couple of students, and working on my thesis.
