Christmas Plans

Ok so Christmas is eight months away but it's never too early to start planning our yearly trek back to California, especially when you're in the throes of finals and all you can think about is a vacation from school anyway.
I received this email from the Dean of Student Affairs regarding my national boards (NBEO) that are coming up next March:

Class of 2010-
As you probably know, KMK Educational Services has been contracted for the last several years to provide Part 1 NBEO reviews for our students. Students have been exceptionally pleased with this review and have found it to be very helpful in guiding their NBEO preparation.
We have contracted with KMK to provide reviews for the new Part 1 that will be held on March 17th & 18th, 2009. In order to provide a timely review, we have arranged for most of the review to be given during the month of December of 2008. The specific dates are:
December 3rd & 4th Wednesday morning and Thursday (will not conflict with clinic)
December 17th & 18th Wednesday morning and Thursday (will not conflict with clinic)
December 22nd & 23rd Monday & Tuesday (all clinics will be closed)
KMK will also return for one date in the spring, probably the first week in March, for a final review session.
Please take these December dates into account when making any personal commitments. Attendance will be mandatory and, in all likelihood, requests for excused absences on these dates will not be granted.

So there you have it, I have to be here in Florida through December 23rd. Also, I may have to work in the school's clinic sometime during the week after Christmas because the clinic will be open during that time. In years past the students have split the Christmas holiday with half of the students working before Christmas and the other half working after Christmas. But with the board review classes now scheduled before Christmas, I have a feeling everyone in my class will request to have the week after Christmas off. They can't grant everyone that request so about half of us are going to be out of luck :(
