THE DAYS OF THE WEEK

There are seven days of the week, periods designed to

provides cheduling context and make time

more easily measureable. Each of these days

is identifiable by specific plans, moods, and tones.

Monday is viewed by many to be the "worst" day of the

week, as it marks the return to work following the

weekend, when most full-time employees are given two days off.

Most students attend school in the morning and return

home in the afternoon (usually from about eight until

three or seven until two),

and most workers go to work in the morning and return

home in the evening (usually from nine to five or eight

to four).

Tuesday is the second day of the week, and is in many

ways similar to Monday. Not a whole lot of changes,

schedule-wise, between Tuesday

and Monday; most individuals go to school or work and

return home to watch television, play video games,

make plans with

friends, spend time with family,read, or engage in a

similar

leisure-related activity.Wednesday is the third day of the

week, and serves as the "middle" of the work week;

some individuals refer

to Wednesday as "hump day," as once its workday is

complete, employees will have passed the work-week

"hump," and will be on the downturn, as only two days on

the job will

remain in the week.Thursday is the fourth day of the

week, and is

viewed favorably by many, as it's rather close to the end

of the work week.

Friday is the fifth day of the week, and marks the end of

the workweek and school-week for the vast majority of

employees and students.

By Friday afternoon/evening, moststudents/workers

cannot wait to leave and go home, as they won't

have to report back to school/work until Monday.

Saturday is perhaps the most highly regarded day of the

week. Because Sunday follows it (and there is

presumably no work or school to attend, for most

individuals), everyone is free to stay out

(or awake) until late at night, having fun with plans or

other

leisure-related activities. To be sure, Saturday is generally

thought of as a day to partake in hobbies that couldn't

otherwise be enjoyed during the regular week.

Sunday is the final day of the week, and is used by most

as a day of rest. Fewer late-night plans are made on

Sundays, compared to Saturdays, as most individuals

have to wake up for work or school

on Monday morning.
