Progress is NOT mine.

greenie1980 suggested I post my reading list for the pleasure of all, and what with this being a brand new week with brand new assignments, my list has doubled in size.  The more the merrier!  On the bright side, I've finally written a rough draft for one of my application essays!  Yes!  Now I just need to polish it (a lot, it's kinda an ugly essay), and I'll have four more essays and a cover letter to go!  Woooo!  O, spare time, I knew ye well.

Molecular Biology textbook: ...a lot of pages.
Calculus textbook: Very few pages, but written in the very foreign and esoteric language of math.

I would feel better about blowing all this stuff off, but discounting the calc and bio, it's actually all really very fascinating. This isn't stopping me from skimming the politics textbook though. I'd be stuck on that one forever if I wanted to read it in its entirety.

Somehow, my workload apparent has not stopped me from buying tickets to two Hungarian movie screenings at Lincoln Center next weekend.  Insanity becomes me.  At least they were cheap.  And it's not this coming weekend at least, because then I seriously won't have time to leave my studying cave.
