'Blue Monday', seemed 'normal' to me.

Well 'Blue Monday' was supposedly last Monday, but had been changed to today: Monday 24th January...

Hoping we didn't have an assembly due to exams today, dreading the lectures and repeated exaggeration of behavioural 'issues' etc, unfortunately enough for me, and many others in year 11 there was infact an assembly! As per normal lining up, going in, sitting down, looking for the teacher taking the assembly... We all sat there silent. The assistant head took the assembly, and whilst introducing it she mentioned that it was apparently 'a special day' which totally confused me and others judging by the looks on their faces, she mentioned her husband's birthday which had absolutely no relevance of any sort, and her phone even went off - always breaking the silence in assembly, at least there is some 'action/amusement'. The 'special day' was infact 'Blue Monday' which I had no clue about, judging by 'blue' I guessed depression, but why today of all days? Well apparently it's a 'calculation' used including: amount of debt we are all in, loss of the Christmas spirit and a mixture of other things - all seems rather odd to me. Why have a 'Blue Monday', it is probably all physcological, if no mathematical braniac worked out and equasion and put forward the idea half the people today would have been 'normal' - no one would have noticed 'depression'. To me everyone was just in the same old mood... revision, exams, teachers and others - complete stress. 'Blue Monday'? A bit of a farce to me...
