	Teaching period configuration. This will need to be updated annually. It's easily extensible to a new teaching period simply by adding a new specification for that period. The key should be mixed-case alphanumeric (i.e., no whitespace, no punctuation or other special characters). The components of each period specification are:
	
	first_week:		The academic week number of the first week of the period.
		
	last_week:		The academic week number of the last week of the period.
		
	break_weeks:	A list of breaks that occur during the teaching period.
					Each is specified by the start (break_start) and end
					(break_end) week. If a break is only one week long, then
					break_start and break_end should be equal. If there are no
					breaks in the teaching period, include a single break
					specification with both break_start and break_end set to zero.
					
					The list should ideally be in ascending order, but the
					script doesn't assume this and sorts the list anyway. Weeks
					are numbered by academic week number rather than week within
					the teaching period.
