Boss, what I just found out from a guy who does the schedule thing at the ministry left me speechless! Our students are getting ready for summer vacation, and I can already feel Mioara giving me death stares when I hear about holidays and money. Let me tell you exactly how it is, so you know when to stuff your kids in the car.
According to the structure approved by the Ministry of Education, summer vacation 2026 starts on Saturday, June 20, and lasts until Sunday, September 6. That's exactly two and a half months, bro, 11 weeks of being on their parents' backs. I'm already thinking how much it'll cost to keep Brian busy, because he's not gonna sit on TikTok and FIFA all day. Mioara is already making plans with the discount lists from Lidl, but I don't know how far they'll get us.
For most students, the last day of classes is Friday, June 19. So from Saturday, June 20, the fun begins. Exceptions are the graduates of 12th and 13th grade (evening and reduced attendance), who finish on June 5 and start vacation on June 6, to prepare for the Baccalaureate. And those in 8th grade, who finish on June 12 and start vacation on June 13, before the National Evaluation. Those in technological and vocational education keep grinding until June 26, after 37 weeks of school. That's how they are, more hardworking, but also with a month shorter vacation.
After vacation, kids go back to school on Monday, September 7, 2026, when the new school year 2026-2027 begins. It'll be 36 weeks of torment, until June 18, 2027. I'm thinking now what to do with Brian during vacation. Maybe I'll send him to grandma in Teleorman, so he can see what life in the countryside is like, without Wi-Fi. But what do I do with Mioara and the BMW payments? Leave it, we'll see, as my mother-in-law used to say: 'We'll live and we'll see, but the money still ain't enough.'
