On another thread I posted a pic of a school I was at that I did not like much at the time. However there, just because I did not like it, I began to sort of like Fridays because they meant that at 4 p.m. or so I was rid if it for a good time,; also it was a day they did let up a bit and the teacher read us a chapter of some childrens' adventure story. On further maturation I began to like Thursdays because tomorrow was Friday.
