It was a day like any other, yet something wasn't quite right. There seemed to be a mysterious force that compelled students to look out windows and at their watches. There was a sense of anticipation in the air, an aura that enveloped them all. Time stood still. It was Friday, a time to rejoice and enter for a short time into the realm of Heaven and unconditional freedom. A forty-eight hour break. But what to do with these Qod-given hours? Well, first one must naturally allot some time for sleep and rest. Some, however, donate more time than others to this pastime. Jennifer McLoughlin, freshman, stated, If I had my way I'd sleep until two in the after- noon.'' Medina Taylor, sophomore, agreed with her by saying, I sleep as much as possible and then, maybe, go to work later. OK, so we all love to sleep, but we can't lie in bed all weekend. Let's face it, the sun will eventually shine through the window, or mother will start to vacuum loudly! Some people however aren't so lucky.

I love to stay in fashion so I shop often to keep up with the changing styles, she said. There were students who stayed close to home on the last day of their weekend. Sheryl Warnokowski said, I usually do what has to be done on Sundays and then I just hang out at home. Sunday nights were depressing because that was when reality hit you, and you realized that you had to do all your homework that was due for Monday. A weekend such a small amount of time allotted to so many things, but Michael Palleschi, junior, summed it up in a few words: “Sleep late, eat a lot, call your friends, then go to a party!
