Spring Break

I had to work. And furthermore I noticed that my work is less green than I had initially thought. I was impressed initially when I found out that we recycle all of our bar bottles and whatnot, but exponentially disgusted when I realized how much styrofoam we go through in a single day. Every time an employee gets a drink, they use a styrofoam cup. This made me realize just how oblivious people can be about the environment when they are actually hurting it more than anyone. Another thing that I noticed was how close minded my parents are about sustainability. Again, another reason I may have not been as green as I could've been throughout my childhood and whatnot. Other than that, my Spring Break was pretty awful- I got stuck at Chicago's O'Hare airport overnight on Sunday and listened to a bunch of people complain about overbooked flights, followed by a long day sleeping in Lambert, St. Louis airport the day only to leave on the last flight (thankfully) to Oklahoma City. Spring Break '09 officially is one of the worst memories I have of O'Hare airport ever, and I hope to never have to see it again (though I know this is definitely not the case).
