Portrait of a Student in Repose
Last night I crashed out at 11pm. I have been feeling very tired lately and I am just not concentrating as much as I should. I am staring at the books but nothing is sinking in.
I woke up this morning at 8 and then proceeded to stay in bed until 10. It was refreshing to say the least and I needed the down time. As you know, LH and I study every Saturday. We are trying to do it so we are on the same page with out work and to ask the questions that come up when we are reading. It's good to have another head there. The funny thing is, we hardly really talk, because we are usually reading different articles or at different points in the reading. So in some ways, it a bit wasted.
we did end up going to see a recital at the Julliard School. It was very good because it was faculty performing. It turns out that this older woman who was supposed to be sitting in my row began to talk to me and she was the mother of the Pianist. Nice lady. The performance was Debussy and Schubert. During the break an actress came out and read a very short anti-war poem. It was unusual and the audience's reaction was 'huh?. The actress' name was Elizabeth Groves (I think) but when I googled her name... zilch...So I think perhaps I may have heard her name incorrectly.
I came back and went to the coffee shop and did some more reading. Overall, I think I read about 175 pages today but I still feel like it is not enough. I was hoping to finish the Heck chapters, 3-7 for my Policy Course . It is damn hard! I am having a lot of trouble understanding and digesting it. I need to condense a lot of what is being said, but I feel like I don't have any time.
I think today I managed to study for at least 9 hours. Why do I feel it is not enough?
