a) Working on my end of term papers (as I probably should have been) nor
b) Sitting at home sewing (that came later...)
Well, I was sitting and I did get some reading done, but that was during my two hours sitting in the chill of almost-spring air outside of Best Buy. Why? I was a placeholder, waiting for the Canadian release of the iPad2.
(To be honest, it wasn't a bad way to spend the afternoon. I dressed for the occasion with wool socks and my winter parka, brought water and a snack and had fun making friends with the people in the line up with me. )While it's not mine (no, I'm just the good fiancée who will give up an afternoon to hang out in front of an electronics store for her husband-to-be, and who also knows that I can use this fact for eternal borrowing rights) I have definitely benefited from this lovely little machine. Even on bragging rights alone, it's been fun to have, but as a graduate student who commutes to work, this little snazzy device is changing the way I pack both when heading to school and for studying in coffeeshops.
While I will admit that sitting hunched over the touch-screen keyboard isn't ideal for writing a paper, that will all change with the next investment: this micro-keyboard case from Zaggmate. Until we actually make that purchase, Oliver the iPad has been living in my latest sewing project: a soft case made from leftover cotton and flannel material. (Note: Thanks, Mom, for the material and I will be sure to pass over the rest of the material to EM the next time I see her).
