Especially for You....


This post is especially for all of those people out there that can read fast.

I hate your guts.

235 pages. That was my weekend. Over 70 of those were textbook pages, mind you, the rest were from two of my required reading books. I sat around like a little hermit, my pile of books in hand. It was painstaking. It was frustrating. It was downright hell. And it's not over. Oh no, I'm still not done. I have seven more pages to go, and God only knows how long that will take me.

Fast readers: you have no idea. I cannot skim the text to get the 'general idea.' I cannot look at the titles, the pictures, or merely find what's on the study guide. If I try, I remember nothing. Nada. The information merely hits my brain and bounces off, like a rock skipping across the water. Don't ask me why. Believe me, if I knew, I wouldn't be here right now telling my tale of woe.

I am so jealous of you. JEALOUS! I can't even finish the ACT reading section. Gahh!

So frustrating. SO frustrating. SO FRUSTRATING! Well, I suppose the moral of the story is, if you can read fast, be thankful. Now I have to go back to my reading.

If you read this in less than a few minutes, still hating your guts. But I want your brain.
