Historically weekends have been the best. A blessed break from attending classes, getting up and going to work, and going to bed on time. But med school has flipped the concept of the weekend (as well as other things), entirely on its head. Now, instead of it being a break from routine and responsibility, it is an unbroken stretch of time in which you can wade through all the studying you put off (cause you had the weekend of course!) And so instead of being a time of rest, the weekend days become the longest, most grueling days of the week, and Mondays (now the new Fridays) are a welcome relief.
Having said all of that. I'm preparing for a long and monotonous weekend full of studying biochemical pathways, so my brain can vomit them all over a piece of paper Monday morning, and then, with shaking hands and watering eyes, take that wondrous afternoon off.
The only problem with Monday being the new Friday is that it is followed by Tuesday, and not Saturday.
C'est la vie
