The weekends never seem to last long enough, and the work week just drags on. Weekends are a two day stretch in which the working man has to cram in family time, relaxation, and some fun activities to satisfy his or her need for the next five days. Americans live for the weekends. Last weekend, my time was spent lounging on the couch to try and ease the tension from work. Also, I checked out a new restaurant and took my brother out to the movies. In the span of two days, I relaxed, spent time with family, and fulfilled my need for fun and adventure, just as the weekends were intended for.
