I've been out of school for more than a few years, but Sunday evening still leaves me with the same feeling I had when I was a kid: Damn. The weekend is over. I still have (algebra homework/a term paper to write/rat cages to clean) before I can go to bed, and then I have to get up tomorrow and do another week again...where'd the weekend go?
I had a great time at Saturday night's ballgame (thanks, Ted!), but I don't think I sat down except for that. Yet the "to-do" list is still longer than the "done" list.
I'd say "I can't wait 'til I retire," but when I was a kid, I thought it would be easier after I got out of school, so now I know not to bank on an imagined future.
Besides, once I do retire, I'll spend the first several years taking care of the things I didn't get finished this weekend.
