400-450 pages a week of reading.

[Writer]

Yup. It's fun, I tell you.






((Why am I posting here instead of reading???))

[taterguy]

1. Beats being a fucking Waffle House waitress

At least according to Bill Hicks

[Writer]

3. Yeah... that's what I figured last year while pouring coffee for angry truckers.

How can this be my life??!!??? When will I finally find my ticket to greatness? Oh, woe is my dirty apron, my mind bereft of any depth!

But damn, I thought, those waffles taste great with syrup.

[fishwax]

2. Ah, grad school

I feel your pain :toast:

[Writer]

4. Yarp. I am lucky that I'm interested in my reading, though.

Actually... and let's keep this a secret between you and me, a'ight?











((I kind of get off on reading this material. It's good... errr... "stimulation."))

[skooooo]

5. That's not horrible....

Divide by 7 and it's only 65 pages a day. Break it down like that and it won't be so bad.

[Writer]

8. Yeah... I'll likely will.

[janx]

6. What are you reading?

I'm curious!

[Writer]

7. Writings on...

The Enlightenment, Modernity, Sociology and Marx...

[Nickster]

9. How come my grad school isn't anywhere near as cool as yours? I just get to read about research stat

istics. Sheesh!

[Writer]

10. I dunno... what are you studying?

[Nickster]

11. Just a regular MBA. If they ever offer the dual major program where I'm at, it will be a dual MBA

and MIS.

[Writer]

12. Mine's in the social sciences...

I started my MBA about ten years ago... I did well, but I didn't finish. :P

[Nickster]

13. Well, it took me ten years to even get started on college at all! Now I can't stop myself!

[Writer]

14. Well there's nothing more addictive (or intoxicating) than intellectual stimulation. n/t

[mitchum]

15. All writers should read far more than they write...

in the hopes that it will intimidate and frighten away the bad ones
and inspire the good ones

[Writer]

16. If this were fiction, I'd agree...

actually, this being non-fiction scholastic reading, that would also apply.

Nonetheless, don't let this Wannabe Writer with the misleading username confuse you.

;)

[mitchum]

17. A lot of scholastic writing scares off writers...

good and bad from doing scholastic writing.
And that may not be a bad thing :)
Great...now the MLA is getting together a gang to come over and beat me up
