Weekness

[radegund]

Radegund: Ugg. It's Thursday. I never do well on Thursdays. I tend to dive into the week on Monday and plough ahead at full tilt, so by Thursday morning I'm totally running out of steam. Oooh...big dark-black-pinky tunnel of a Thursday...limbs...so...heavy...

Glitzfrau: Oh, no, Thursday has always been a good day for me. It's late opening - it's a big long day to get lots of stuff done - I'm full of energy on Thursdays.

So I'm curious: where do you stand on the matter?

Thursdays are hell. As a high school student, I'm of course still slave to the schedule -- and because of the way my school works its schedule, I have one class on Tuesday and three on Thursday (plus an extra mandatory 'class meeting' which takes up as much time as a regular science course). So, Thursdays very bad, because they mean lots of homework and no rest.

Also, they're an opportunity for me to take stock of just how much I haven't got done over the week, whether it's progress on essays (but Bertie can wait) or applications or even little ideas that would be just fine if only I had the time to write them...

so combine full class schedule and crushing despair. Mix. Collapse.

That's exactly it. I set my targets on a Monday, when the week stretches forth ahead of me, pristine and seemingly endless. Even on Tuesday and Wednesday, I can talk myself into believing that I'll be seized by a preternatural burst of energy and get through everything by Friday afternoon - or that I overestimated the timings on one or two things. But by Thursday, the crushing reality is becoming painfully clear...

Rem acu tetigisti, as Jeeves would say.
