Here we go, another week is about to start. It's funny how quickly you fall into a routine when you start the 9-5. In fact now weekdays speed past . Monday is ok because it goes quickly as you catch up with all the stuff you should have done Friday. Tuesday you actually make some headway on things and is a fairly normal day. 'Suicide' Wednesday - so called because it is furthest from the weekend and everyone is in a bad mood. Thursday has a touch of hope about it since the weekend is sniffing distance. Friday is great because after 14.00 everyone has demob fever and shirks all responsibilities. After all of that weekends are inevitably disappointing as you get pi**ed up Friday, spend all of Saturday hungover thinking how sh*t the TV is and then Sunday you have to get ready for the whole damn circus to start again.

So maybe this week will be different. Maybe each day will throw up new challenges, exotic people and exciting situations so come Friday I will look back on 5 days of unprecedented achievment and identify a number of ways in which I have bettered myself, my peers and my surroundings. Or I will look back on another week where I have not got any further in achieving any of my long term goals, where I have not learned anything new, developed any ideas or concepts and have succeeded only in utterly exhausting myself. Happy days...
