Reading is Worse than Writing

I know that Sarah will probably disagree with me... but thats ok.

I hate reading. I have to read this 300+ page book this weekend... but I can't, because I read to slowly. I read for about 5hrs yesterday and only made it through about 100 pages.

I don't really mind the book... I just wish it wasn't so flippin' long! It is written by this woman who has reported on Iran since 1979. The book is actually pretty interesting (although my mother says I read books that hurt her head...).

There are lots of stories about the Iran that few people hear about, the Iran behind closed doors. The writer recalls parties that have been busted by the moral police and governement officials who tried to hit on her.

I'm learning a lot by reading it, and I should be reading it now, but I'm not. I had a choir concert today and then my dad and I cleared out some things from my dorm and ate at Fazoli's.

After I "finish" reading (or stop reading the book somewhere in the middle) I have to write a 4 page paper about the book. I also have to finish up some drawings for drawing class. I should show you guys my finished sketchbook for my art class (not the same as drawing class)... the prof said I should go into art, hehe. I think maybe he's right.

I think both are the worst. In order for us to read something, someone had to write it. Well, as long as it isn't me, I guess.

Yeah, go into art.

I don't know, I have to figure out my own life. I don't care what you do with art, make a living.

well you see, it woudlnt probably suck more to write page vs page or reading.. but usually u have to read like 2000x more than u have to write. i think thats kind of how i see it.
