Getting back into the groove of college life has been almost impossible. College, the most relaxed atmosphere in the world, is apparently too fast-pace for me after spending a week sleeping and wallowing in pity. Today, I’m using the excuse of having to drive five hours for “wound preservation” as the reason I had to sleep through class.
Yesterday, I’m calling on one of my favorite excuses for not doing anything productive: Sunday Night Syndrome. It is a grim phenomenon, caused by being so sad that the weekend is about to end and so excited that a new week is about to start, that results in a serious lack of sleeping abilities and a lethargic (at best) Monday.
Here’s an interesting article about the Sunday Blues by Dr. Larina Kase. Maybe you can use it to legitimatize your excuse the next time you can’t be productive on a Monday. http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/LarinaKase1.html
I despised Sunday nights, usually because I hadn't even started on homework that was due the next day. However, Sunday night has lost its sinister grip on me since graduation. If you get lucky and enjoy your job, Sunday night can actually be enjoyed as you get to watch the Amazing Race and Celebrity Apprentice with zero qualms about Monday.
ReplyDeleteWhat if my job isn't Monday through Friday but Thursday through Monday... Do you think Wednesday will become stop being amazing? The deeper question here is rather the days of the week have intrinsic power or if we grant them power...
