Slow Progress

I'm sad to report that progress has been painstakingly slow these past couple of weeks. When I set out on this mission I figured if I want to finish by the time the summer ends I will need to read at least one book a week or more while in school and then really pick up the pace during breaks. Unfortunately, it has been almost two weeks and I am still trudging through Survival in the Storm. Don't get me wrong this isn't because it is a bad read (I'm about half way through at the moment), its just that I underestimated the end of semester work load (not to mention I gave myself a pretty good break for Thanksgiving!).

There are two weeks left in the semester and I still need to write a six page paper, give three presentations, finish up a project and take some finals...Whew! I get tired just thinking about it! Since, this is the case it means my reading will be quite slow for the next two weeks. Pages here and there I am guessing to de-stress myself or give myself a break. This makes me sad because I am enjoying the reading very much and in my excitement checked out four more from the library that will probably need to be returned before I can read them. Good thing there are two local libraries where I live at home!

For now I just wanted to give an update for anyone out there who is waiting with bated breath for my next post (though I'm not sure who that might be lol) and to let everyone know I haven't fallen off the wagon. I am determined to complete this mission by the time I go back to college in the fall! I will just need to be patient and pray these next two weeks go by fast!
