the week, not end i Sod «« ' Beginning orov ide a it. weekend P event f U f . ■ • B-Pv-E°A°K What better way was there to start off the week than by spending it with friends on the weekend? Although it was the common belief that Saturday and Sunday ended the week, they were really preparing people for Monday morning by providing exciting or relax- ing activities. The weekend could have been a time when one could sleep in, relax, or just enjoy himself. I looked forward to the weekend because it was a break from school, and a time that I could be with my friends, explained freshman Julie Bacino. While some sat around and relaxed during the weekend, others had responsibilities and obligations to fulfill. I didn ' t have much free time on the weekends because I was work- ing at my dad ' s office a lot of the time, stated sophomore Neil Rosario. As many students might have found their weekends with no free time and too fter a long tiring day, sophomore Jay Potasnik and junior Lynette Thompson grab a quick bite to eat at Wendy ' s. Students had awaited the Dec. 18 opening of Wendy ' s to pro- vide a new alternative to fast food. many responsibilities, others found themselves with no re- sponsibilities and too much free time. The weekends can sometimes be really boring if you don ' t have money to go shopping or to see a movie, complained junior Lori Kobus. A lot of my weekends are spent cleaning house or doing homework. Starting off the week with a really fantastic weekend or a really dull, boring, uneventful one could usually determine the outcome of the week. There were many different opinions of the perfect dream weekend. My perfect week- end was taking the train down to Chicago and going shop- ping on Saturday, and even just bumming around with my friends on Sunday, stated freshman Andrea Roy. While some enjoyed relax- ing on weekends, others liked a more serious weekend. My perfect weekend was spend- ing my Saturday afternoon at a speech meet, placing well and finishing my homework or go- ing to a movie with a friend on Sunday, explained junior Ju- lie Pardell. Those people who partici- pated in sports found that spare time was rare. Practice, meets, or games were a big part of an athlete ' s weekend. My Saturdays were all dedi- cated to swimming. We had either practices or meets ev- ery Saturday of the season, said senior Mike Gonzales. Whether spending the weekend working, relaxing, or simply having fun, most found the two days an enjoyable time for rest and relaxation. Most of all, they found it a break from the usual hectic weekday schedule, and an ex- citing way to start off the week! On7 of the many treats people en- joy on the weekends is having the op- portunity to turn off and ignore the blare of the alarm clock. Junior Kevin Zaun wastes the morning as he sleeps until the early afternoon. 22 Weekends
