Weekends are the one time during the week when I’m not on a fixed time schedule.” However, while some may be inclined to relax during their weekend time, others find themselves even busier on their two day break than they are during the rest of the week. Jobs, housework, babysitting, church, and yes, ev dreaded homework sometimes ta precedence over fun and relaxatu But, for the most part, these “dutie can be avoided. For examp homework is often left until the I; minute, partly because of procrastir tion and partly because of its reminc of school on Monday. As Rohlf sa Homework is part of school, and the beginning of the weekend I for about school. The escape from school that I weekend provides is cherish Without it, the chances of surviving h school would be pretty slim.
