Today, I knew who invented The Week or the known as seven days. Babylonians were really into astronomy. They cherished the 7 wanderers at their time (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) They named each hour unit after them. Here how it goes, each hour was named by a wanderer. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Moon, and so on. And since they were seven, they had three full cycles a day leaving one wanderer to start the next day with, so each day would start with a different wanderer giving us full different days, hence the name Sunday= Sun. Monday=Moon. Saturday=Saturn and so on..
So you’re well-prepared for a test
and your time can allow a rest
But on your exam night
you’re unfailingly in fright
Cause life’s a bitch at its best

Had a mood swing
Hadn’t read a thing
