Hey this is my second time around. I'm not a first time freshman, and I'm used to the college load. But none of my other books had chapters that long. Well, except when I had to read the Bible Knowledge Commentary for Romans... But that was a book, not a chapter!
Grr...i have to read two chapters today. Fortunately I'm done with classes at 9am. ha.

Yah, you learn REAL fast how to skim your reading. There is very little chance of you being able to sleep let alone have any kind of a life if you do all the reading that is assigned to you. I'd recommend reading the first line and last line of a paragraph, unless it seems to be of particualr importance. Otherwise, you will be up all night, every night reading.

You can really get away with this in psych. Most of it is common knowledge or common sense anyway. I've taken three psych classes, and they are all a breeze. I used the gateway book someone mentioned for my intro psych, and it's a really basic book. It's not that difficult to read.

Unless you're a Psych major like me, that just doesn't fly in upper level Psych haha.
Answer:
tell me about it
it gets harder and harder... and more complicated when you're actually majoring in Psych... plus a ton of paperwork... you have to read a lot, memorize terms and their meaning... etc. etc... not to mention when you have to study the different Psych tests, especially the really complicated ones used for extensive diagnosis of a possible mental patient
it's still early to back out

yeah. that and the fact that i have to sign a covenant for most of my classes saying something like "on my honor and before God i have read the material"...and to me skimming like that doesn't equal reading. i've done the skimming thing... we were told to "skim chapter 16" for my history class. it's not the same. so for now, it's just me and the books... for a long time.
