Yes, Happy Easter indeed! Let's all worship the pagan god of fertility Fria and scavenge around for the symbols of fertility, the rabbit and egg. While we're at it, let us also pray for a good mating ritual tonight.

Can I put my college kid without a family rant here? Oh well, atleast it's not as depressing as eating a bag of chips for thanksgiving dinner. And who knows!! Maybe I'll make tonight special and order out a pizza! Who needs eggs and ham to have a good easter anyway!? Not me thats for sure!! ;_;

Heck yeah! I'm in the same boat Tzurial. I was thinking about going to go to a $6.25 all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet tonight. I'm spending today grading a stack of over 100 papers, doing homework, writing an essay, e-mailing professors at my future grad school, and applying for some internship jobs. I've got a to do list with 12 items, each which will take me at least one hour to complete. Looks like I'm not sleeping tonight... |

a little informative list of what we do here in Colombia This whole week is the hollyweek "semana santa", that means vacations for everyone!! in shchools is usually the whole week, but oficcially only from thursday to sunday is a rest day. The sunday ( not this but seven days ago) is the "domingo de ramos" everyone buys a hand made bouquet of palm leaves, actually there is a campain to stop the use of this palm tree (is a very special one, i forgot the name) because is a species in danger. I don't know very much about what all catholics do, here in thursday catholics usually do the visit of the monuments, you go to seven different churches and pray, if you live in a small town with only one church (like my dad when he was a kid) you enter the church and exit it seven times! there is a mass sevice at midnight, but im not sure if is on thursday or friday. The friday almost everyone close their business, especially at three o'clock, which is the time when supposdly jesus died, at that point, no church play their bells, everyone use a "matraca" wich is like a device to make an annoying sound, very aprecciated around here, (i hate it though). The other days you just pray a lot if you are a true catholic or just spend the free time playing games (like me and my brother ) |

Hmm. My church was so crowded that they had to open the doors to the main chapel and set up chairs outside those in order to accomidate everyone [did I spell that right?]. This was not including the extra chairs set up behind the pews. The choir's chairs were empty, but we couldn't use those for some reason...
I sat outside in hopes that I could open up a spot inside for someone who comes to church rarely. I saw over 50 people leave because it was so packed. Sort of sad... |
