Change of rhythm

With my new job, I have noticed a very different rhythm of our daily life. Five full days of work, two days of rest, then back to work, rest, work, rest, with no apparent end to this cycle. I used to follow the academic calendar, with the beginning, middle, or end of a semester and your sense of time anchored by events such as a trip or a specific deadline, but generally I never felt that I had gotten into an endless cycle. And there's always the summer and winter breaks, where we get to change gear for months at a time. Now, a three-day-weekend would seem like a refreshing break itself! Luckily, I do not dislike this new rhythm. It's just a very noticeable change.
