Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! That is the sound of someone’s alarm clock going off on a Monday morning. I’m going to tell you why Mondays are annoying.
My first reason as to why Mondays are annoying is because, on Mondays, you have to start school for the week. I don’t know about you, but every Monday morning my alarm clock will go off, and I’ll lazily hit the snooze button as I drift back to sleep. After many more snooze-sessions, I drag myself out of bed and sluggishly move into my day. This is my first reason why Mondays are annoying.
My second reason is that, on Mondays, once you slowly get to school and start going through your boring classes (said only for the sake of this paper), you start to slowly realize that your homework-pile, so to speak, is getting pretty big. On Mondays, teachers like to give you lots of homework due to the fact that you had no school on the weekend. Fair? No. This is my second reason as to why Mondays are annoying . My first reason was that you have to start school for the week on Mondays.
So those are my two reasons as to why Mondays are annoying.
So, what did you think? What? Did I hear you say it was awful? The worst expository you’ve ever read?
Well…
Thanks! That’s exactly what I was going for! Oh, and sorry to any English teachers (especially Ms. Schoch) that read that thinking it would be good. Let me explain. Just for fun, I have decided to try an exercise on Expository Writing and see how it goes. I wrote two expository writing essays with the same topic:
Explain Why Mondays Are Annoying
They have the same reasons. Everything about them is similar except for the fact that one is everything Ms. Schoch has told us NOT to do, and the other one follows the guidelines. My goal: see if this improves my understanding of Expository Writing. The one you just read was the bad one. This is the good one:
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! “Ugh, 5 more minutes!” This is my reaction when I wake up on Monday morning to my bothersome alarm clock. Forget the alarm clock, Mondays themselves are bothersome!
One reason is school starting for the week. On Mondays, you don’t know if the week will be long or short, good or bad, or anything else, because Monday is the deciding day. In the book A Total Tragedy of a Girl Named Hamlet, for the main character Hamlet, every single Monday of the year is bad one way or another, and she doesn’t look forward to the rest of the week. This often happens to me too. I must say… it totally sticks. School starting on Monday is really annoying.
Furthermore, Mondays give you tons and tons of homework due to the lack of being able to give homework over the weekend. I hate it when, even if my Monday starting off great in Athletics, I go to Texas history, Science, English, and Math and get piles upon piles of homework. To add onto it, with athletics practice after school, I get home at 5:30-6:00 pm, leaving me time to do my homework only if I stay until 10:00. I really hate being super tired to begin with, then having to stay up super-duper late into the night. Mondays really bother me!
Mondays bring lots of challenges like starting school and tons of homework, but it really isn’t all that bad…no, no who am I kidding? Monday is the worst day of the week for me. Even though I don’t like Mondays, they are helpful for life. They teach me how to handle really tough challenges. So next time I hear the annoying Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! of my alarm clock, I’ll try to be happy and enjoyable.
