Labor Day Irony

So my school starts THIS THURSDAY... that is like 4 days to finish Summer Homework. Everyone waits until the last moment to do it and I always try not to procrastinate. I luckily achieved my goal (somewhat) this year! I will NOT be pressed for time. I just have to continue at my pace of 10 pages per day (EASYPEASY) and I'll finish!

But this is where the irony comes in.... my summer reading book is Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. It is all about the struggles on the lower working class in America. So what book will I be reading on Labor Day? A book about working.

Also, on a side note. I find a great oxymoron within the phrase "Labor Day". One would think there would be a surplus of hard labor taking place during this day, but NOOOO! Everywhere in the nation is practically closed. Ironic? I think so.

One Geek,
Grant
