How do you feel about Wednesday? (U of Chicago)


-         Like any other day, my alarm rings. I struggle to get out of bed, and when I finally do, I realize that I used up more energy getting out of bed than lifting weights in the gym or running a marathon. I dress up, eat breakfast, and drag my feet up to school. I had left dorms 10 minutes before the morning assembly. I manage to reach school on time and realized that I had never exercised so much in my life.  School starts out with sometimes a cheerful and amusing assembly, but mostly, boring devotions which was repeated from last year’s devotion and the year before. School ends, I head back down to dorms along with a few companions. With luck, we encounter monkeys. How could the day get any worst? Its finally time for bed, you get ready for bed, meditate for a while and get comfortable under the bed sheets. Just when you were about to sleep, you think about school, and notice that you have a major test and essay due the next day.
-         You think about the weekend on Monday, You then get the feeling of stress on Tuesday, You look forward to Friday, as there is no study hall and no school the next day, on Thursday, You look forward to the weekend on Friday, but Wednesday! Stuck between the stressful and torturous past. You feel like you are surrounded by a pack of wolves where each wolf represents a sort of stress.  Whether you look left or right you see a wolf, ready to sink its huge carnivorous teeth into you. You feel pain, you want to just run away, but no matter what, the pack of wolves will always follow.
