I'm kinda getting really excited!

By -
When you work in the library of a public school, during the summer it turns into a ghost town. No teachers, No students, No administrators... Just a handful of custodians and office secretaries.
My summer consists of working the months of June & August, and having the month of July off.
Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the students and the teachers are great. They all keep me on my toes. But it is also a nice reprieve to have quiet and order in a library for a change. You wouldn't think that a library\media center would be loud and chaotic... but IT IS!
I am antsy just thinking about what my days\weeks will consist of come June 4th....

1. Loud(er) music from Pandora.com (no hushed tunes so kids wont get distracted, as if!)

2. LCD projector + big screen = movie days! (cause you can still work and watch movies at the same time!)

2.5 *Added movie bonus*... If I'm watching documentaries (which i love) no one can accuse me of wasting time. They are educational. der!

3. Breakfast on Wednesdays with the secretaries. (that was my idea!)

4. Long walks on my lunch break or long lunch breaks at home on my patio. (exercising and saving money. woot woot.)

5. Rolling into school with wet hair, flip flops and shorts... priceless!

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
