Nobody can decide when the week starts. I say it is a Sunday. You say when you think it starts and if you want to, why you think it starts on that day.

For Christians, It's Monday(the whole 7 days thing), but in Mexico, it's Sunday. It's cultural.

I think it depends on which country you are in?
Denmark, weeks starts on Mondays. So it's not just the French, nonconformist...

But apparently both Saturday, Sunday and Monday can be considered the first day of the week.
O.o

It makes good sense to say it starts Monday... With Saturday and Sunday being the weekend... Week-end...

In Jewish and Christian tradition, the first day of the seven day week is Sunday. According to the Bible, God created the Earth in six days, and rested on the seventh day, the Sabbath, i.e. Saturday. This made Sunday the first day of the week, while Saturdays were sanctified for celebration and rest. After the week was adopted in Early Christian Europe, Sunday remained the first day of the week, but also gradually displaced Saturday as the day of celebration and rest, being considered the Lord's Day.

In English language countries the week may begin on either Sunday or Monday. Most business and social calendars in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Australia mark Sunday as the first day of the week, though in South Africa and South America, Monday is considered the first day of the working week.

To me, the week starts at Wednesday, because that is about the time I begin to wake up after the weekend...

In before Drace: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I don't get a say when my week starts. The hospital declares that my week starts on a Monday, and ends on a Friday. What I do in those other days is my own business but if God forbid I turn up to hospital on a weekend- that's a travesty to student life.

But I agree with Cenere. I only start not being stupid in front of consultants on Wednesday.
