What I'm thankful for: March 6

Today I'm thankful for...

Random days off from work!

It's Spring Break at work, which means that the students and (most of) the faculty are gone. However, the staff has to stay and run things since for some reason everything can't just shut down for a week. ;) For the past couple of years our university president has given us a day off during Spring Break so we at least get a little bit of a break. I decided to be flexible and take any day since a day off is a day off in my book. I had today off, and it was wonderful! I went for a walk/jog (lots more walking than jogging ha ha) with Will this morning, ran errands with my brother, and was more awake than usual in class tonight (but not less confused...that will never happen in this class). Random days off from work are the best!

eBooks!

Yesterday marked the beginning of Read an eBook Week (there's a week or day for everything it seems). eBooks are wonderful because they're portable and you can fit tons of them on a device. If you have the right kind of device, then they don't cause any eye strain and can be lighter than actual books. I know as a librarian that I probably shouldn't love eBooks as much as I do, but I don't care. I'm a rebel like that.
