You should probably seperate the storage from the representation. The easiest way of storing the information of a week is the date of the first day (after all, a week could begin on a sunday or monday, depending on your point of view). This will make grouping and searching quick, as it's just an integer. If you really wanted to you could choose an epoch and count weeks from there but I doubt that's worth the effort. As for how you represent it to the users, you'll have to create some conversion routine for output, but I seriously doubt that's going to be a bottleneck.
