Days of Our Lives begins the weekend Laundry. Jennifer Galloway is returning safely back to school with enough laun- dry to last all week. for many students such as Kathy Arm- strong who dozes during a commercial. @ What are we racing for’? As Friday draws near, the minds of DLC students begin to wander as they anxiously await the closing remarks of their Friday afternoon instructor. It’s as if a time bomb begins to tick as they count down the minutes —109...8... 7. Then suddenly they hear the remark, “OK, I'll let you go a little early today. Have a good weekend.” Backpacks are stuffed, zipped, and flung over shoulders in a matter of seconds as they race to the door. What are they racing for? For many it’s a race home, whether 10 minutes or 12 hours away. For others, it’s a mad dash to their dorm room where they hope to sleep all weekend, or maybe it’s to confirm that last minute date. Whatever the reason, it’s the same every Friday. That thought, “weekend,” just seems to excite DLC students. Now let’s see just what that time called “weekend” has in store for Lipscomb students. Well, since everyone’s mind works as an outline by the end of Fresh- man Composition, students begin listing things in categories.

Then they go on and list parks they would like to go to and swing or play frisbee, or maybe a special place they could go to see the view of Nashville and just relax. They list all of these and then they come to reality. Their list begins of things they will do: “Well, if I want to go all out, maybe I'll go to the Bison room, or hey, how about Subway’s buy-one-get-one free and then go next door to TCBY for dessert? Next, maybe a 99¢ movie and a few hours of Night Court. To top off the night, who knows, maybe a visit from Pizza Perfect? Oh yeah, that speech can wait until after curfew Sunday night, and who needs clean jeans Monday? These have only been worn four times. (They're not dirty until after the fifth wear.)’” The list goes on and on, but one thing is always true. No matter how tired or behind they are by Monday, the thought is always there: “If I can just make it until Friday ... 4y — Pam Harper
