Hi Everyone! I hope you're all doing well! I was just realizing something fun and kind of crazy that I wanted to share with you all. As many of you know, I'm a PhD student at UNLV (earning my degree in British and American Literature). This semester I am taking two classes, which is only part-time, and I have approximately 800 pages to read each week. That translates to 21 novels, and about 12,000 pages in all.
I guess when you're a grad student in Literature they want you to read a lot. Weird. :) It's a good thing I love it! I have to admit though, I do miss the Read-A-Thons in elementary school when I could wear my pajamas and read the Boxcar Children and eat Swedish Fish and M&Ms... No, grad school is much different than that!

You'll just have to get yourself some Sweedish Fish and M&M's!! Wow that is quite the load! Good luck!
Wow Amanda! I hate to say this, but I'm kind of jealous! I caught a glimpse of some of those titles and some are the greatest books ever! I just don't envy the part where you have to write about all of them. Good Luck! i can't believe your getting your Ph.D. SO IMPRESSIVE!!! I'm rootin' for ya!
Mandi! I love this picture and the post! You are a darling, and I miss you!
Wow, that's LOTS of reading! I'm sure you are doing great with your classes though!
This is perfect! A long time ago, I swore I'd read a list of 50 great American classics a teacher gave me. Maybe you can just relay me the Cliffs Notes version and call it good. Good luck!
Oh, reading those books look like so much fun! I think I'll head to the library this week!!
I'm jealous too! Do me a favor, and create and post a list of all the awesome books you are reading on your blog. I'd love to know what you're reading so that I can read them and feel smart too. :)
I love it. I wish i had more time to read.
Wow, you amaze me! I miss talking to you all the time and being inspired by all that you accomplish!
Yeah in grad school you can't hide under a blanket and giggle with your friends... you actually get graded. Oh my I admire you for being able to do that... I freak if I have to read 10 pages. ugh
P.S. I think I might start calling you Dr. Scott that way... you'll get the idea of what its like to be a doctor, and it will give you motivation to keep chugging. You know, a light at the end of the tunnel
