To Sleep or Not to Sleep

Saturday has come. A blanket of peacefulness coversa oncebustling campus. Studentsliedreaming, entombed in theirwarm beds. The sun is just peaking from behind themountain tops. The birds arejustbeginning to chirptheirmerry melodies, and the flowers and treesarebursting withcolors.

There areno earlymorning classes, chapelservices, church, orurgent homework tobe done. It is a day to resttheirbodies and minds from thefrantic lastweek and toprepare fortheweek to come.

Many do not gettoenjoy thisfineluxury. They have ajoborreceivean earlymorning phone call or theyareinvolved insome campus activity.They are the ones who take afternoon naps to revive themselves. Saturday is thepeak ofthe week.

Students livefor Saturdays justtohave theopportunity to have nothing to do. Saturdays are important not only for physical strength but for mental strength as well.
