My sacred weekends

After being an employee for almost a year now I have come to the conclusion that weekends are sacred like they never were before! In university the weekends were used mainly to catch up on studying, to be lazy around the house, to switch off from the world and to actually take a break from socializing. Now, as an employee, the weekends are when my life begins! Its when I see my friends, its when I get to spend some time in bed, its when I get to make my phonecalls, its when I get to spend some time with my mum, and its when I can travel somewhere and relax. Every sunday I start dreaming of the weekend that seems oh so far away...and when thursday comes around I come to work with a huge grin coz I know my sacred weekend has arrived and is within reach! I start thinking about what my plans this weekend will be, who I will see, what I will do...my brothers make fun saying how thrilled I am in the weekend while they have to study...and all I can say is...I have earned it after all these years of studying! Only now, after working for a year, do I see the advantages of not being a student anymore. My identity was always tied to the fact that I am a student...things have changed now and only now I can begin see the good of not being a student anymore, even if the good is small! So far my weekends have been a blast! Having close friends pass by me at 10 am to go have breakfast, cruising in the car while singing, going for lunch, for a walk, or to the movies...just hanging out all day enjoying each other's company till dark is so awesome! I'm glad that today is thursday and that my sacred weekend will start in less than 2 hours!!!
