days we only have a two-section paper. So I need to find out how to Word the repeat command that's below to just use the First two Sections for those two days. Also I had heard that you can make a list of a folder (ie. Set the_List to {"Item 1", Item 2, "Item 3"} of folder "Untitled Folder"

You don't say what those 2-sections days are.
If those are, say, Saturday and Sunday, you could write:
------------------
set n_repeat to (count the_folders)
if weekday of (current date) is in {Saturday, Sunday} then set n_repeat to 2
repeat with i from 1 to n_repeat
etc.
