Thursday

Thursday is one of those odd days of the week where it’s not quite in the middle, nor at the end, but somewhere in-between. On Friday, everybody’s excited for the weekend, excited that they get two days off and can sleep in, stay up late, hang out with friends without worrying about tomorrow.

But Thursday is one of those days where one can’t do any of those things, since there’s still one day of work left. It’s a day that seems like every other day, but it’s not. People know the weekend is coming, that the work week is almost over, so it’s like they’re prepping for it mentally, anticipating the last day of work before the weekend.

And knowing that, they try to wrap things up at work, preorder movie tickets, stock up on groceries, or reserve tables at a restaurant for a get-together. They might even work on getting all of the chores done so that they don’t have to do them over the weekend. It’s like a day that calls for us to finish what we’ve started that week, as well as to make arrangements for social gatherings. In fact, Thursday might be one of the busiest days of the week.
