The Case of the Literature Student Who Can't Read Anymore
she just can't bear to.

i have not been in the mood to write nowadays (but of course, i'm definitely more keen than junming who hasn't updated since prehistoric times). this is because when i write, i have to read. and really, i just cannot put myself to read any longer. i am serious. i have read 5 texts (and another 4 more to go) since school reopened. that didn't happen that long ago, did it?

i love reading. i sincerely, with my utmost being, love to read. but when you are made to read so much, it just becomes a killjoy. reading is now, an act of analysis and an act whereby i need to produce results. a literature student losing her ability to love reading is just, too problematic to be true. don't misunderstand, i am perfectly happy with school life and work load; i am just a little afraid that i can no longer be that avid, enthusiastic reader i used to be.

maybe i should start reading mathematics formulas and learn all the mathematical signs by heart. or create my own formula for the impact of excessive reading to that of passion which will then mean if i do, i will get a nobel prize. but that can only happen if i start memorizing all my E=MC2, A2+B2=C2, P=QR/2, Cos90=0...

wow, i am going back to reading.
seriously, like NOW.
