So I totally enjoy reading, maybe to the point of a little too much. I can easily get side tracked in my “research” reading. This love of reading that I have has come in handy with the fact that I am an English major, working on my Graduate degree with an emphasis in Literature. Now with that being said, for the past two months, I have been submerged in reading. I read approximately 600-800 pages a week. Thats right, A WEEK!!! Not to mention the weekly movie and all the papers that I have to write to go along with my reading. Now before you say but you get to watch a movie, I am watching but also analyzing this movie to relate it to something that I am reading for the week also. SOOOOO, not joy watching by all means.
Now what in the world am I reading you ask? OH, well there is psycho-analysis books, Irish mythology, and lets not forget how to teach literature! That doesn’t sound bad, right? Look back to where I said I am reading between 600-800 pages a week and writing papers!!! Thats a lot of reading people! Irish mythology is NOT my friend right now. W.B. Yeats and I are coming to a slow understanding.
I know when it is all said and done, I will have a wealth of knowledge and understanding but right now I feel like I am DROWNING and quickly.
I keep plowing through and am determined to maintain my 3.5 GPA. This story is To Be Continued…
