The egg symbolizes new life and fertility unbroken egg is believed to have a year of good luck When our family colors our eggs we try to select the egg with the hardest shell We take the waxy crayon and write our name on it and decorate the ends with large dots of wax We hope the waxy protection will make the shell even stronger for our little tapping game We call our game "Egg War” which doesn't sound never knew our very Christian egg tapping tradition began in Eastern Europe Rolling Easter eggs down a hill or across the White House lawn is an idea that may have its beginning in England Rolling eggs on hills on Easter Sunday was associated with the rolling of the stone from Christ’s tomb A medieval version of “hot and these people decorated eggs and gave them to loved ones to celebrate the rebirth of potato" used eggs the earth Some Middle Eastern would throw a cultures believed the earth itself was hatched from a single magnificent egg No wonder eggs are an important part or our springtime and Easter traditions Most of the Easter egg fun we enjoy now had beginnings long ago in far away lands Some European countries dye their eggs red and bake them on the top of fancy Easter bread The red eggs symbolize and honor the blood of Christ In Bulgaria and other parts of eastern Europe eggs are cracked after midnight service at Easter One egg is cracked on the wall of the church and this is the first egg eaten after their long fast At Easter lunch each person selects an egg Then people take turns tapping their egg against the eggs of others The person who ends up with the last A priest egg to a choirboy who then tossed it to the next choirboy and so on When the clock struck 12 on Easter morn the egg holder was the winner and kept the egg Slavs toss eggs into a lake to help ensure fruitful offspring by the geese and ducks Others play a game like marbles using eggs instead of marbles With all the fun games and make sure symbolic traditions you cook up enough eggs Keep them refrigerated as much as possible as you decorate them hide them and play with them You shouldn't eat hard boiled eggs that have been out of the cooler for more than two hours Nothing ruins a holiday like a family member restless with a stomach ache or throwing up So keep the eggs refrigerated and on Monday finish them up with an egg salad for lunch for the entire exam so you can complete all the questions on time Answer the easier shorter questions first since this gives you the experience of success Don't spend too much time on any one question Allow extra time for the longer more difficult questions Be prepared for any type of pattern HOW CAN I OVERCOME TEST ANXIETY? from Studies with information the book "Becoming a Master Student" by Dave Ellis Nearly every test taker has had some degree of test anxiety at one time or another Realizing that anxiety exists is the first step to finding a personal solution that works for you Consider these ideas Recognize that test anxiety is not all bad You may study before an exam with greater concentration and be more focused when your anxiety level is slightly raised Some anxiety is not unusual by Jim Olsen Mareh is like a lion in like a lamb out April showers bring May flowers What do May flowers bring?
