are there any songs about wednesdays? i can't think of any.

Classes for spring quarter scheduled: Screenwriting, Grammar for Writers (which doesn't look too bad, upon looking at the course description, and at least it's fully online), Critical Theories of Cinema, and French. Woo. One class per day M/W/F, two classes T/Th with a two and a half hour break in between. Not bad at all. I have to talk to my advisor again about my film minor, because he may have to tweak a few things to get the system to believe that I took introductory film theory (I took it back in Canada, so the system just sees 'foreign transcript' and throws up on itself.)

(The last time I took a screenwriting class was 1997 and I had to drop it because I just couldn't wrap my mind around script format (among other things). Hopefully the nine year gap will make some difference. (Nine years. Jeez.))

I'm hoping to find either a better daycare transportation solution or a closer apartment to the daycare by next fall.

Slept terribly, filled with horrible dreams of car crashes and horrible reality of the boy waking up and wanting something at oh-dark-thirty. Midterm last night was either a cakewalk or I totally failed it.

I want this week to be over, and it's only Wednesday. Writing is going much worse than I'd like and probably better than I think. Someday I'll figure out why my brain is only happy vascillating between 'flash fiction' and 'huge hyper-multi-novel construct' rather than something I can potentially sell, like a short story. That day is, however, not today.

Other things I am doing: learning Japanese via podcast.

[livejournal.com profile] branwynseye might want to check out FrenchPodClass if she still wants to polish up her French ...

Conviction premieres on iTunes for free. That's the new Dick Wolf lawyer drama, incidentally. *fangirls*

"Monday, Monday" and "I Don't Like Mondays."
"Ruby Tuesday."
"Another Saturday Night (and I Ain't Got Nobody)."
"Gloomy Sunday" and "Sunday Kind of Love."
The Monkees song "Saturday's Child" mentions Wednesdays. . . . otherwise, i can't think of any.

In some areas of the country, Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day! But that's an advertisement, not a song.

Clearly we need more midweek songs.

There's 'Tuesday Afternoon' by the Moody Blues ... 'Friday I'm in Love' by the Cure (I think?) ... 'Easy Like Sunday Morning' (The Commodores) ...

Tori Amos has a Wednesday song! In fact, it is called "Wednesday." It starts off "Nothing here to feel; I'm just sitting around being foolish when there is work to be done." I sing this to myself a lot.

Ok, so it's not really about Wednesdays, but it's close enough.

Excellent. :-D
The only other day of the week songs I can think of that I didn't already mention in other comments are 'Saturday in the Park' (Chicago) and 'Thursday (Here's Why I Did Not Go To work) (Harry Nilsson.) So now that we've got Monday covered, we have one for every day of the week.
*nods* I like that kind of thing. Completion.
