It's all about weekends

Living in America for two years now, studying and working here I realized a strange reality. In America, it's all about weekends. It's almost celebrated if not worshiped. On Friday people wanna know what your plans are for the weekend. On Monday they wanna know what you did on the weekend. They laugh and smile with you if you have a good weekend story to tell. And they frown at you if you said "nothing much" or "Well I just slept all weekend". Is it a crime to not do anything on weekends, is it a crime to spend my weekend in my bed, even if I am not sick. So it makes you wonder, what's so special about weekends that makes it such a big deal. Of course it's 2 days of holiday, of course you don't have to work or study but there seems to be more to it than that. And I think I found my answer couple of weekends ago. I was visiting a family friend - a couple with a 3 year old son. There I saw how important a weekend can be. They work all week, their son is in the daycare all day and goes straight to bed after having his dinner. It's only on weekends they get to spend quality time with him. And there I realized it's about family, it's all about creating your memories as you tread through your life, its all about doing something useful which you can share. Time spend sleeping is time wasted. So I have decided that I will be more productive on weekends...maybe not this one...maybe next...allrite some weekend it will happen...just wait and watch!!!
