Ahhh, the beginning of term. Time to frolic, play, relax...and actually read a little of your assigned readings.

See, not only do I blindly buy books, I don't generally read them! Except at the beginning of term when there's plenty of time.

But this is a problem, because I've found, when forced to read, that it actually is a worthwhile activity. But it's extremely hard to motivate oneself when the reading is only assigned, not required, and there is actual graded homework to be done.
