Places to avoid during Easter.

In the Czech Republic, a tradition of whipping is carried out on Easter Monday. In the morning, males whip females with a special handmade whip called pomlázka. The pomlázka consists of eight, twelve or even twenty-four withies (willow rods) and is usually from half a meter to two meters long and decorated with coloured ribbons at the end. It must be mentioned that while whipping can be painful, the purpose is not to cause suffering. Rather, the purpose is for males to exhibit their attraction to females; unvisited females can even feel offended. The whipped female gives a coloured egg to the male as a sign of her thanks and forgiveness. A legend says that females should be whipped in order to keep their health and fertility during whole next year. The females can get revenge in the afternoon when they can pour a bucket of cold water on any male. The habit slightly varies across the Czech Republic. Some feminists allege it is a disgusting medieval tradition. Link

If you thought having Easter Sunday on March 27 was a little early this year, in the year 2008 Easter Sunday will fall on March 23, and won't even be that early again for the next 12 years or more. However technically in terms of the layout that month, it would be similar to this month (4 days in between March Break and Easter weekend). However St. Patrick's Day isn't within March Break anymore. It's on the first Monday back.

Decrastinate.

It's the last day of March Break, darn.

It was a nice time of not caring about anything school. Now...it's time to go back for a four day interruption, where tests occur, then continue with our fun Easter break.

A guy walked into a post.

I haven't been paying very much attention in classes recently, waiting for the holidays to roll by. I'll be taking notes, but only sub-conciously. But I'm just being lazy. Even though I had my share of a few quizzes and projects recently. I should probably just throw in the effort, since we're going to have 7 school days off within the next two and a half weeks. But seriously, now that Easter's shoved itself into an improper month, it's going to be about two months until the next holiday. Fun ol' Victoria Day. By that time we're probably all immersed in some sort of summative frenzy of projects and tests. The May flowers will try in vain to stop the insanity of the end of school year surge.

On another note:
I hope Italy and France trip people have fun!

March Break must come.
