Vacation Assignment

It's an oxymoron, isn't it? Either way they still need to be done, and I'm convinced they are beneficial for my learning.

My pre-2nd year vacation assignments are:

• Greek translation
• Hebrew translation
• Calvin readings

Also, is vacation an Americanism? It feels like something you would perhaps do on the pavement/sidewalk then throw some trash in the can after eating some cantaloupe on the way to your apartment.

Nah mate, in this country we take holidays. And we walk on the footpath, throw rubbish in a bin, eat rockmelon and live in a unit.
