Monday

Monday
Kaitlyn Dugan

Without a doubt in my mind, Monday is the worst day of the entire week, of course coming right after the weekend it would take a massive miracle for the day not to be. Mondays are usually the busiest and the most stressful. The day starts right at 5 on the dot and does not end until 10 at night, without a break in between. By the end of the day the anticipation for the return of Friday grows. Just coming from a stress free and carless two day break, getting your brain to get down to business can be kind of tough. Once Sunday comes around, the feeling of dread starts to sink in. Yet again, I have to make myself last another 6 days before repeating the same mundane and monotonous tasks.

My Monday morning starts off at 5 o’clock: I wake up and get dressed, go to my church class, go to school, return home to complete my homework, attend my after school activities, and soon after returning home I have to lay my head back down to rest. During my morning church class on most Mondays my teacher almost gives us a long drawn out lecture based on the scriptures. During school, Monday is a prep day for the rest of the week; it is when all of the teachers pass out the big projects, teach new material, and pile on the homework. Through the Monday, it’s hard not to dream of Friday. On Friday there is no need to worry about getting to bed at a decent hour, but on Mondays getting bed to early enough to get a good amount of sleep can be challenging. Friday is game day and breakfast day for my church class. For school, Friday is the last day of the week, when all off the projects, tests/quizzes, class work, and homework are turned in and all of the stress and pressure is released. By Friday most of the week’s lesson plans have been achieved, so the day becomes very chill and laid back. Monday, being the first day of the week, is very challenging to last through; unfortunately there around 52 Mondays in a week.
