Open a new Terminal Window
Type in the following command
```
date -d fri
```
Description:
- date = print or set the system date and time
- -d = display time described by STRING, not `now'
- Replace fri with any day of the week you prefer.
This will output something similar as below
```
Fri Aug  6 00:00:00 SAST 2010
```
