I Hate Reading.

In case you're wondering what it's like to be a university student doing two degrees at the same time, let's take a look at the amount of reading I have to do to prepare for next week's classes:

- 102 pages of "The Cultural Industries" due tomorrow by 9:30am, 40 of which are completed. An additional 109 to be completed by Wednesday at 9:30, none of which are completed. An additional 27 pages that were due last Friday that I haven't completed yet because the article uses way too many big words I don't understand (what IS the difference between oligonomy, oligopoly, oligopsony ... and these were just adjectives to describe concepts that also have non-obvious definitions)

-232 pages for next Thursday's marketing class... a lot of that though is because I haven't even opened up that textbook yet (aside from seeing the number of pages I needed to read). I also need to jump on board my keener group project train...

- 52 pages of the most blasee Harvard Business School text you'll ever read due Monday. This course (organizational behaviour) also requires a 10-page report that needs some serious attention pronto.

Aside from reading, other things on my plate include:

  • Concert in Hamilton tomorrow
  • Concert in Stratford Saturday... haven't arranged a ride yet... need to get on that... also haven't listened to the CD I signed out with the Mendelssohn on it yet... need to that tonight or tomorrow otherwise I'm looking at a fine...
  • Concerto competition on Sunday afternoon... didn't practice as much today as I would have liked... must practice tomorrow instead of reading...
  • A recording session on Tuesday? with the Wind Ensemble? I don't even know what day... MUST FIND AGENDA.
  • Sending out the first/last batch of arts admin resumes... I'm just ignoring the uneasy feelings and just doing it... we'll see how that turns out in the end
  • Answering e-mails... I've kind of ignored my inbox for the last week or so. So highly not recommended... people really do appreciate when you respond in a timely manner.
OK, off to complete the packages to mail out tomorrow & answer/send a few e-mails; my deepest apologies if I do not get around to yours but I truly wish I could.
