If It’s Not One Thing It’s Another HHS AND BLAHS mem iirencane anes like Fridays because I can look forward to playing withallofmy the friends.”’ Talinka Braun on- day. The wor itself was pretty scary. What ac- tually made Mondays mis- erable and Fridays fantastic? Certain things had a way of turning Mon- days into nightmares. “T hate it when I’m in the shower on a Monday morning and my little brother comes in and flushes the toilet, because all the cold water disappears and I get burned and it ruins the entire day,” said Jimmy Neitzel, junior. Once at school, Mondays only seemed to get worse. “What I don’t like on Mondays is when every teacher assigns homework, and they are all in bad moods,” said Elizabeth McCarty, freshman. “Mondays are really hard because you have a whole week of school @© RESTING for a few minutes in Mrs. Brown’s Advanced Placement English class, seniors Todd Sharpe and Robert Freidman try not to call attention to themselves.

In contrast to horrendous Mondays were the fantastic Fridays. “T really look forward to weekends if I have a speech tournament because I get away from thinking about school, and it’s fun because you get to argue with people,” said senior David Kopp. “Fridays are great when I have something better to do that night than to go to the football game,” said Jimmy Neitzel, junior. Weekends were the only times which provided for relaxation and recovery from the previous week of school. Students agreed that the natural course of the school week would not exist without Monday blahs and Friday ahhs. g{a Gretchen Schlachter
