From weekend to weekend

I can take whatever school throws at me, as long as I have the weekends. Then I can spend time with friends or family and just relax, without having the weight of school's homework hanging over me... at least till saturday night. I don't even want to think about what the world would be like without weekends, but is this way of living and making my way throughout life healthy or right? Maybe there's a way to avoid dolefullness through the week, and not live so much for the weekends.
First, I'll identify what's wrong with not being able to wait for weekends. There's the lack of focus during the week which is direly needed, because of school. There's also the mind set of thinking I can only be happy if it's the weekend which puts me into a worse mood during the week. Since I'm unable to think of the positives of an infatuation for the weekends, I'll conclude that, if I want to aspire to better moods and having a better outlook on school, I best be seeing if I can change something.
One solution might be to not have so much fun or relax as much during the weekends, but I think that there will be a more preferred solution without sacrificing the motivation for weekends. Enrolling in more pleasureable or interesting classes would help along with working out my time to achieve the absence of procrastination. This will help me have more free time during the week even till right before a test or the due date of a project. Another goal might be to constantly remind myself of how important school is and that it will only last another year and a half till I get to see how difficult college really is, or I could look forward to a break from school after high school for a while if I decided to work. These can all also be coupled with the idea that how hard I work will hopefully reflect how much easier I'll make it on myself later on. So, it's true. There can be life and happiness found during the week.
After struggling through the sinking mud of my sophomore year I've decided it is time to find a bridge and change for the better. Not only am I taking more desirable classes, but I am also having a hopeful, positive attitude with my schooling. This has left me with an increased amount of confidence, self-esteem, and cheerfulness. Living off weekends reminds me too much of any addiction. Instead of seeing the next weekend when I look into the future, I see my potential and then create my future.
