This blog post is my study break.

SO FIRST.

This semester is surprisingly busy. Not necessarily in the sense that I am doing a lot of different things, just that I am constantly having to take a break from the few things that I am doing because I feel overwhelmed. 

I have sadly realized that sense the semester started, I have spent more hours awake doing homework than properly sleeping or leaving "quality time" for myself. This is in no way because I procrastinate doing my homework, or even because I'm just lazy. I struggle with keeping up with the infinite amounts of reading simply because I am a bad reader.

And I don't mean "bad" as in I dislike or hate reading, or that I don't understand what I'm reading, but that it takes me exponentially longer to read even short excerpts. I also get distracted extremely easily and find that I often have to take frequent breaks from my reading homework. 

I would also like to mention that I am also behind because of this and will probably spend the rest of the semester "catching up," which is not how I intended to spend all my energies this semester. Yet, somehow I always manage to get my assignments in on time.

I am, of course, open to any suggestions as to getting caught up, or becoming a better reader. Please help.
