I am super excited about this years challenge. Mainly because for the first time I am not in school for another week (ya summer classes....not) so I do not have to worry about studying or homework. Thinking that last weekend was the first weekend in June I was planning on devoting a good chunk of my reading to organic chemistry to study for finals, I took my last final yesterday. You can now see why I did a happy dance when I found out that the reading challenge is this weekend.
If I had known about the challenge in May I would have asked off this weekend at my summer job and tried for the whole 48 hours.
Yet the job is not the only thing that is taking up my time. I have so many things to do in the coming week, to get ready for the summer classes (which I am referring to as Hell. You would too if you were taking 3 engineering classes over a 7 week period.). So along with working, I will be also devoting a significant amount of time to cleaning/organizing the basement and all of my laundry. While cleaning I will be listening to an audio book, I chose one which is nearly 12 hours long.
My official start time is going to be noon eastern time. My goal for this year is 24+ hours.
Happy reading everyone!
Good luck! What are you reading?
ReplyDeleteI'm wishing that I had scheduled a weekend away for myself this weekend, so that I could have just read and read and read. Ah well, we do the best we can. Good luck getting to 24 hours! I doubt I'll make that this year (I have a 2 year old, so it's a bit of a challenge...)
ReplyDeleteAudiobooks are excellent in regard to cleaning etc! I hope you have a lovely time!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I've got an audiobook on hand in case I need to do something without a book in hand. I think it's the perfect choice for participating and doing chores. I'm amazed you can do this, work, and study.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll have to make it a new clear rule that it is the first weekend in June that is after BEA. They moved that off the end of May and threw things off. But it's much better that you don't have to read a textbook, so WIN!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, you do have quite a summer in front of you...all the best and Book People Unite!
