I remember a time, long long ago, when reading was fun, a thing I did for pleasure in my leisure time.

In the last three weeks, reading has been the enemy. And there is no end in sight.

Most of the things I have to read are really good, and I would enjoy reading them so much, if it weren't so many pages per week. Maybe you know such a situation: It is fun, as long as you don't know you HAVE to do it.
Let's have a look at what I've read in the past few weeks. The ultimate evidence that the German 'Bachelor-System' sucks...At the end of this semester I will not remember half of the information that went through my brain. That's for sure.

Crime Fiction seminar (is great, despite the workload):
I read two Edgar Alan Poe short stories and five Sherlock Holmes short stories.
Then there is the awesome, wonderful "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", written by the ingenius Philip K. Dick. I made half my way through it. I picked this one for a presentation I have to do. Maybe I write a term paper about it.
Then I read a real classic by Agatha Christie: "Murder on the Orient Express".

Seminar about British culture, literature and history from 1485 to 1688.
I haven't finished Othello yet, still a few weeks left until we talk about it in the seminar.
But I read over 70 pages from Thomas Mores "Utopia" and about 140 pages from two books about Renaissance culture, history and literature in Britain.
Then I have to prepare a presentation about Shakespearian sonnets. Which I also have to read...yeah, sonnets.

Despite the ugly stuff I have to work through for lingusitcs...
Linguistic always was not the easiest thing to understand, but this time, its a language-inferno.
And all the assignments for didactics. In which I also have to read a book...

Hello?

And there is much more to organise and to do...

Enough of all this moaning...
Anyway, I am feeling fine, everything turns out pretty good in the last few weeks, and everybody is ok.

So, I will do this, somehow. Like I did it in the last semesters. But this time it seems worse than ever before. ^^

P.S.
Excuse any mistakes you may find...I also lost my language somewhere last week...
