X3 (Aw, thanks! You guys too) Well... my friends from last year private school live in Hawaii, and they don't get much of a break inbetween semesters. In fact, they don't get a break between the first and second. The only major breaks they have are (just a rough estimate):

~ Thanksgiving - Weekend break only
~ Christmas - One week
~ Spring Break - One week
~ Summer Break - Eight weeks
My other friends who go to public school have six semesters, each with a three week break inbetween (Holy schnitzel!) but their summer break is also only three weeks. DX
