So, It's spring break and I have done absolutely NOTHING. I stayed in Logan for most of the break to work which I didn't mind because I LOVE my job. a LOT. So I've been coaching, and watching Friends and making these senior collages for the Mountain Crest graduating swimmers. But I really wish I'd had pushed myself to read more. I'm in the middle of reading Atlas Shrugged which i'm really liking so far, but haven't had a chance to pick up in a while, and I'm kind of upset with myself for spending so much time with the TV and not delving into the pages of a book. I've been contemplating time management a lot recently, and the ways people choose to spend their time. I've got a lot of goals I want to accomplish in my life, and a mile-long list of books to read, but are the ways I'm spending my time in accordance with those goals? Last week I was stumbling (thank you
stumbleupon.com) and I ran across an article on another blog addressing this VERY issue. The blog is aptly named "You Are Not So Smart". Made me laugh :) anyways this post uses Netflix as an analogy for choosing things that are fun and easy NOW and choosing the more valuable and beneficial options for LATER. So we feel like we are making good choices for our futures, but in all reality we are ALWAYS living NOW.
Here's a link to the article, it's pretty long but I HIGHLY recommend it :)
Anyways back on the subject of books, I was talking with one of the kids I coach last week about the AP English Literature test and reminiscing about some of my favorite classics. I really enjoyed The Great Gatsby, and then today I ran across this website of
T-Shirts made in vintage movie-poster style for classic books. I really want the Gatsby Tee :)
