The reason I did not include it is because (to my detriment) I use the Sabbath as a catch-up day for reading. Granted, the readings are centered on the Bible, but I am praying that God would help me to prioritize the rest of my time throughout the week so that I may use the Lord's Day as the Day of Rest it is supposed to be (except that I am a children's minister and I prep all week for that day!). @ Melynda: I would have to agree with your thoughts on the Sabbath.

I've found that actually observing sabbath on the LORD's day is wonderfully refreshing as well (imagine that :) To have a guaranteed homework-free day to worship, rest, fellowship, and think on the things of God provides a rhythm and constancy that gets me through the week, and helps me stay focused on why I began these classes anyway. It's true that Monday quizzes may suffer if I don't work hard on Saturday, but I've found that having the sabbath is still worth it. Just a thought! Thanks for these – good advice!
