Friday!!!!

Finally! Friday!!!! I know I say this every week, but the only way to describe Friday for me is that it's practically my holy day, because it's the only day of the week that I don't do homework. I've lost my illusions over time about no homework on the weekends, and no homework over summer breaks, and EVEN having homework on Halloween, but I categorically refuse to do homework on Friday.

And I will be continuing my Friday celebration of things that make living life worthwhile. This week, I am going to feature 7:00 in the morning. Now if you read my blog, you'll know that I normally have 7:00 a.m. Latin, which I didn't sign up for at all. My school forced this upon me and a number of other students because they thought it was a good idea to end the program at our school out of bureaucratic reasons that I cannot begin to fathom. And I have to have an IB language credit to get my full diploma, which means about three fourths of the way through the summer I learned that I would be taking the most difficult language my school has to offer at an ungodly hour. Don't get my wrong, I love me some Lingua Latina, I only despise the coercive 7 a.m. part of it. So why on earth would I be celebrating that which I hate? Today, though, I didn't have 7:00 Latin, and my alarm went off at 6:30 a.m. I got out of bed at 7:03. The experience was incredible. It's not the 7:00 that makes living worth while, it's getting a respite from a regular torture or unpleasantness that makes life worth living. So enjoy whatever respite you get whenever you get it, no matter how little, because it never lasts for long.
