Why it is great to be a Librarian...

In addition to the other wonderful benefits of being a librarian i.e. you can sit and read a book and no one gets mad at you, you always have a teacher in the library with their class, you don't have to do annoying, time consuming things like grade papers, do report cards, make lesson plans, and conduct conferences, you are less likely to be eliminated when your school downsizes! That's right, I have narrowly scraped by! Apparently they staffed our school for 900 students and we only have about 500 so they are removing 12 teachers from our building. To be more specific Comm Arts and Math teachers. Yay for being the only librarian at our school!

Other than that, I have completed my first week of Minnie Marathon training. Yes, you read that right. Your eyes have not deceived you! I am training for a mini marathon. I don't actually plan on running the marathon, but I figured this was the kick in the pants I needed to get myself really going on running. So, I'm training as if I am going to run the 15K race. My ultimate goal will just be running in various 5Ks in the area. I would love to be able to run the Minnie Marathon next year if they still have it. For those of you who have never heard of this it is a woman's 15K through Disney World. Sounds like so much fun!
