How the Week Organizes our Lives

 This passage brings me back to high school as this idea of this cycle was very apparent.  Everything was very structured with school, job, extracurriculars, and sports. This was extremely repetitive as every week was the same.  Weekends were booked up with only a small semblance of free time, haunted by the week ahead where the cycle restarts. 

Another interesting point that I got out of the article was really looking back and wondering why we have this week, made up by us, and only created to organize it.  It is very funny to me how our whole idea of how we organize our lives is from one person who decided that it should be based upon this way.  A year makes sense, but a week has no bearing or reason on why it is the way it is.  I also think that that a big proponent of the reason for the 7 day week is religion.  It is funny how much of our traditions are rooted in religion.  Religion used to play a larger role in peoples lives then it is now.   This weird realization of how a population of people who are more detached from religion still adhere to a lot of the religious traditions, and dont even know.  I think that this is very funny too.  Many people will resent religion yet still follow these religious traditions.  The ignorance is humorous.
