The Love of Literature
I really want to read a book. Not a book for school. But a book that I want to read.
I use to read soooo much in middle school. Sometimes 2 or 3 books a week. Thanks to my 4 hour total commute to and from school every day. I miss it. Reading was such a big part of my life. It was an escape. I could block everything from around me out and instantly get lost in the stories.
Ever since high school started, I haven't really read anything that I want to read at all. I miss it. I hate reading everything for school. Sometimes I feel like I would learn 10x more if I just read what I wanted to read compared to all the boring stuff I read otherwise.
One thing I regret about this break is not reading more. I had the perfect chance to just open up my own book and read and read and read. But I didn't take advantage of the chance. And now I have a million things to read for school and don't have time to read anything else.
I can't wait until the summer. I am going to try and take full advantage of all my time in order to read the stacks of books on my To Read list.
But for now, back to my school reading. English. TOK. Social Anthropology. US History.
Oy vey.
