2. But snow days are really difficult to turn into productive days.
I want to watch snow, watch Netflix, and read books for pleasure. I’m getting
some work done, but not nearly as much as I would if I could go to the library.
At least I don’t have classes this semester. Both students and teachers are
massively confused by a two-week disruption to the sacred syllabus.
3. This month has gone by so fast (the blur of snow days hasn’t
helped). My thesis defense and Easter are only a month away, with graduation
and that hurdle into the real world shortly following. Maybe the snow will last
longer, and I can hole away until June.
4. Best book review quote this week via the New Yorker: "The global appeal of the novel has led some fans
to hallow it as a classic, but, with all due respect, it is not to be confused
with 'Madame Bovary.' Rather, 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is the kind of book that Madame
Bovary would read.”
5. Best quote online via Reddit, in regards to the above quote: “Someone
call Ray Bradbury because this is the biggest literary burn since Fahrenheit 451.”
6. I did not do the milk and bread run for this latest snow. And
now I have no milk for snow cream. This is the most valuable lesson I learned
this week.
7. I’m glad I remembered a Quick Takes this week. It was the only
thing reminding me it was Friday. I haven’t gone to school on two consecutive
days since the 12th, so my concept of days and weeks is a little muddled.
