Since you have to use some new starter and make four more starter bags, I just buckle down, get a few aluminum baking pans and make five batches in one day. I keep one bread and give away the other ones. My neighbors love me and I vow not to do that again for at least a year. If you think about it day ten is the same as day one.

It's not like it used to be when college was relative cheap. Now it takes a small fortune. So, student get jobs and jobs don't have spring break.

Spring break in America is almost exactly the same time as the new year holidays of the Persian year. In case you don't know, the Persian year started 3747 years and 3 days ago. And yes, it is more than just a break. It's actually a holiday. I believe the actual Spring Break started way back in the ancient Persia.

Spring Break has evolved to be a particular week - usually in March, but not necessarily the same week everywhere. Spring Break, at the university level, was originally introduced as an anti-suicide measure. Somehow, it has evolved into Reading Week at many colleges, which is almost contrary to its original purpose. Go Figure!
