There is nothing that stands in the way between me and studying. I have compiled the list in the chronological order in which I will read the primary sources, with the secondary sources inserted in a different color where their subject matter most directly applies. I have the first four books that I'm reading ready to go (Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim (1900) and The Heart of Darkness (1902), and The Twentieth-Century Novel in Britain and The Edwardian Turn of Mind). I have created templates to fill out after every book: author, title, summary, characters, major themes, pedagogical implications. I am set.
And yet, I have every night of this week filled with social engagements: True Colors concert, Donald Miller/David Crowder Band, small group leaders bonfire, scrapbooking 'crop club', and Q101 Block Party. I am never, ever this busy; hopefully, I will soon be able to go back to my hermit-like existence that supports good studying. Plus, I still have three HP books to re-read before the release (39 days, 4 hours, 12 minutes, 29 seconds) of book seven. I thought not teaching was going to free up time...
