For whatever reason Mondays have been particularity good to me this semester. People bitch about how they don't get enough sleep before their Monday classes, how they're habitually unprepared for their Monday classes, how they have managed to forget something critical and blame it on Monday.

Let's hope that this Monday is no different and that perhaps I can hold this energy throughout the week.
