- A day later and I've just about recovered from the Brittana kiss. (The hug afterwards is my favourite part.) I dread to think what I'm going to be like if WHEN we get a proper kiss on the show. IT MUST HAPPEN.

- I'm still really sad about Chord being cut! Sam, with his ridiculous impressions and his Justin Bieber tribute band and his general all-round adorkableness, was by far my favourite of the guys. Also, Sam/Mercedes had so much potential. I can understand why they might have thought he was expendable, because he doesn't seem to have a ton of fans like Darren and Chris do, but I still think he was really widely liked even if he wasn't a lot of people's favourite. SIGH.

- I'm also sad that the Glee tour is over. What are we going to do without endless buttslap gifs to tide us over until we get new episodes?

- Question for fic-writing purposes: how many weeks does a typical US high school summer break last?

- I feel kind of guilty for not having written a letter to my [livejournal.com profile] femslash11 author, especially considering I usually write such long ones. I guess it's too late now? (Dear [livejournal.com profile] femslash11 author, if you're reading this: just write whatever you're inspired to write, and I'll be super happy with it!) I haven't even started writing my own fic, although it is mostly planned out so I'm hoping I won't find it too difficult to get the actual words out.

- I'm really enjoying the new Patrick Wolf album, Lupercalia. I wasn't that impressed at first but it's finally grown on me! /no1curr

- This moodtheme makes me ridiculously happy. ♥

Summer vacay depends on the state and type of school.

For example a private school (like Blaine's) in NY would be on holiday from by about June 6 'til the first or second week in September. A public school here would run until the end of June and be back in right after Labor Day, so early September.

I know in other states public school is back in in August and that it differs by state on lots of different factors including weather, whether school buildings are air conditioned and farm seasons.

Thanks for the info! That roughly maps onto what I was planning, so if I don't get too specific about timelines it should work out okay.

I think the most important thing you can do for realism is have the McKinley and Dalton schedules not line up perfectly. The public/private ones never do.

I don't think the Dalton schedule is really going to come into play in this particular story, but I'll bear that in mind if I ever do write about it. Thanks again!
