How I spend my weekends
When I think about weekends I smile. I associate these 2 special
days with freedom, a lot of free time and entertainment. I can only regret weekends don’t last longer.
My weekend begins on Friday when I come home after school and
extracurricular activities. Usually, it’s quite late so I eat my dinner and go to my room where I play a role-playing computer game with my virtual friends. We play until 11-12 p.m., then I go to bed, watch an episode of my favourite TV series and fall asleep what is not difficult considering how tired I am.
Saturday is my day of sport. I wake up quite early and go jogging.
It refreshes my mind and body and gives me strength to handle all the difficulties of everyday life. After an hour I go home to have breakfast with my family. During the week we can’t eat together because of school, work etc. but on Saturdays and Sundays we can enjoy each other’s company. Later, I usually help my younger sister with her homework and I clean my room. In the afternoon I go to the gym and work out. In the evening I always party with my friends. We have a favourite club where drinks are cheap and music is fantastic.
On Sunday I usually don’t do much. I need to rest and recharge
my batteries before another week of hard work. I take my dogs for a long walk or work in my mother’s garden. In the afternoon I listen to music, meditate, excercise yoga. Doing that helps me to relax and has a calming effect on me.
In the evening my weekend is over. I take a long bath and go to
bed early, I don’t want to oversleep on Monday morning. As soon as another school week starts, I start looking forward to upcoming weekend.
Days of the week
There are seven days of the week, or uniquely named 24-hour periods designed to provide scheduling 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, most students/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.
