Summer Vacation!!!!

Summer is a vacation in the summertime between school years in which students and instructors are off school typically between 6 and 12 weeks, depending on the country and district. I am still waiting for my summer vacation, now that I am still finishing my classes, but the bad thing is that I am going to study in my summer vacation. That is bad. Oh well, what can I do school is school and is for my future too.

Birthstones!WOW!

A Birthstone is a gemstone, usually in the form of personal jewelry and most often in the form of a ring. Each stone is traditionally associated with various qualities that symbolize the month of birth in the Gregorian Calendar.  Modern lists of birthstones have little to do with either the breastplate or the foundation stone of christianity. Tastes, customs and confusing translations have distanced them from their historical origins. Ancient traditional birthstones are society-based birthstones. Early civilizations, such as those in India and Babylon, have attributed gemstones with magical properties and especially to their relationship with the signs of the zodiac.

Final Exams

A final examination is a test given to students at the end of a course of study or training. Most high schools, colleges, and universities run finals exams at the end of a particular academic term. The purpose of the tests is to make a final review of the topics covered and assessment of each student's knowledge of the subject. A final is technically just a greater form of a "unit test". They have the same purpose, finals are just bigger. Prior to the examination period most students in the commonwealth have a week or so of intense revision and study known as Swotvac.In some countries and locals that hold standardised exams, it is customary for schools to administer mock examinations, with formats modelling the real exams. Often, schools will run on a modified schedule for final exams to allow students more time to do their exams.

Astrological Signs

Astrological Signs are equal segments or division of the ecliptic, usually associated with the twelve signs of the Zodiac. There are "sun" signs and "moon" signs, which both depend on your date of birth. Various approaches to measuring and dividing the sky are currently used by differing systems of astrology. Western Astrology measures from Equinox and Solstice points. In Indian astrology, the twelve signs are associated with constellations. During ancient times, people monitored the passage of the sun because it was useful in predicting the change of seasons. Over time, however, people have begun to associate the zodiac sign, or sun's position in the zodiac with birth dates and characteristics.

Monday!!!

Monday is the day of the week between Sunday and Tuesday.Te international ISO 8601standard places Monday as the first day of the week, and this is widely used on calendars in Europe and in international business. Modern western culture usually looks at Monday as the beginning of the workweek, as it is typically Monday were adults go back to work and children go back to school after the weekend. Jewish and some christian traditions place Sunday as the first day of the week, and Monday is thus the second day of the week.This is the standard format in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Israel. In Judaism and Islam Mondays are considered auspicious days for fasting. In the Eastern Orthodox church Mondays are days in which the angels are commemorated. In Islam Monday was the day that Muhammad used to fast on, as this was the day he was born. Monday aligns with the celestial body, the moon, and the astrological sign of cancer, and is represented by the symbol of moon.

What is April??

April is commonly associated with the season of spring in the northern hemisphere and autumn in the southern hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to October in the northern hemisphere. April starts on the same day of the week as July in all years, and January in leap years.
