Read Read Read

As I begin my second semester here at CSU Stanislaus, the new work schedule is beginning to cement. However, I have noticed the work load is becoming more reading based. Let me just say. BORING! I’m all for reading here and there but I feel as though all I have done so far, this year is read and read and read. I know we are only two and a half weeks in and it might change later in the semester. Maybe because its early in the semester and the classes are trying to introduce us to the material? Whatever the case may be, the reading load is substantial this semester so far. In my philosophy class, we print out pages of some philosophers writing and must read all of it. When I say pages, I mean at least eight pages. Unfortunately, our English class has come to this as well. with three different essays to read every two days, that’s a lot of reading. Quite frankly I don’t have the time. it is hard to do when you got an Xbox to play, a girlfriend to talk to, and friends to hang out with. Not to mention the excessive naps needed for a student in college. On a serious note, reading is fine in moderation, but if flooded it can be difficult to retain the information that is read. I do enjoy reading and uncovering deeper meanings and debating on issues discussed but too much material can take away from the experience.
