Saturday is a great day for planning to do chores, fetch any number of things from the grocery, for going for a ride, or for just whiling away the afternoon watching a great movie. It is also a time for students to make good use of the unscheduled day to fulfill obligations of academia; for reading assignments and for writing out homework and for figuring ways to solve problems. A combination of these elements would be my Saturday.
Along with all of these goings-on there would be a haircut for me and a piece of chicken pie, two pots of coffee, and a bottled water. This would mean several bathroom breaks, as well.
Saturdays are treasured as almost holy. Gone is the regulated schedule of the weekday and work routine vanishes as the vapors of morning over the lake in August. Saturdays can be as empty or as full as the each individual who ventures into that calming well of serenity we call 'weekend.'
