#I figured else-if statements existed in Python because of my experience
#with other languages

#Day is takes the input from the user and turns it into a variable to compare
#to the if else loop to determine outcome
#First checks if the input matches the strings Saturday or Sunday
#If it doesn't it then checks for Monday, and if it fails that, it checks for
#the other days
#If it isn't any of the other listed days, then it spits out Sorry and stops
