mm mm There ' s no time like night-time Night-Time Nonsense 15 When the last bite of dinner was ingested and the table was cleared, students searched for al- ternatives to fill their week night hours and avoid homework as long as possible. Prime time television seemed to be the answer. Whether watch- ing sitcoms, dramas, or the con- clusions to last weeks cliff-hanger, students set aside homework. I tell myself I ' ll do my homework after one show, but another one comes on, and another, and soon, I just go to bed, freshman Patty Luna said. Students who didn ' t view TV spent their time cheering on fel- low students at different athletic events. Some students had personal reasons for attending athletic events. ”1 go to the swim meets to see my boyfriend. That gives us a Tuned out With her attention focused on Algebra II, sophomore Allison Dedelow turns her at- tention away from the evenings pro- grams. Homework often took prece- dence over the television ' s offerings, chance to see each other since we both have hectic schedules, senior Kerry Deignan explained. Others spent their evenings run- ning back and forth doing er- rands. Sometimes I go out and get fun things like Jolt, said An- drea Roy, junior. Many students eventually got around to studying; however, it was just a question of when. I tried to get all my homework done early, so I could do what- ever I wanted the rest of the night, sophomore Sharon Kim said. For some students duty called, which meant work took priority over homework. Working at a lo- cal pizza place took up a lot of my time, but it really got me sick of pizza, junior Sean Brennon add- ed. Although homework may have been piled on during the week, as students crammed for Friday tests or World Literature projects, the weekend was always just around the corner waiting to offer relief.

Overworked until welcomed-weekends How did students spell relief? W-E-E-K-E-N-D! This remedy provided the cure from a week filled with homework and tests. Students anticipated week- ends as an escape from a hectic weekly routine. Because there isn ' t school and I can do whatever I want, weekends are the best days of the week, junior Brian Ze- maitis said. Students faced many options for weekend activities. Some played card games to spend time with friends. Our weekend card games were fun because they of- fered a chance to get together with all the boys and chew some fat, junior Shaun Barsic said. Trips to Chicago also added to weekend fun. “My most memora- ble moment was when I went to Chicago in search of Duran Duran, following a rumor that they were in town, sophomore Tiffanie Slathar said. For others, shopping offered the chance to spend some cash. “I love taking the train to Chicago for a day of shopping, sopho- more Lisa Fehring said. For those who liked having their own spending money, weekends offered the time for work to pay off. I love working at Michaels Restaurant on the weekends. The hours are really good, the people are nice, and best— I always leave with cash from tips, senior Aron Krevitz said. A major weekend concern for some students was attending reli- gious services. Some chose Satur- day evening ceremonies, while others waited until Sunday. “I like going to church because we have a youth group that plans so- cial activities, freshman Richelle Keilman said. Sunday afternoons often found loyal fans glued to their TV sets as they followed their favorite pro- fessional sports teams. Sundays are lazy. I grab a big bowl of pop- corn and lay back and watch a few pro football games, junior Bill Paz said. Shopping, parties and football games filled students ' weekends, but having fun became the main objective they set out to accom- plish between 2:45 Friday after- noon and bedtime Sunday night.
