First of all, I'd like to address my lack of posts last week. I have been in quite the self-destructive mood lately, and homework, unfortunately, was the last thing on my mind. Yes, I understand that this was irresponsible and downright lazy, yet I feel at that time I had more important things to take care of in my life than a couple readings and blog posts.
Now that that's out of the way, I realized that each of these articles assigned were fairly repetitive and the skill of skimming mentioned in the Jacobs writing probably would have been a good thing to know before taking on the oh-so-daunting task of reading all three of these at three in the morning the day they're supposed to be read by. I'm one of those people that has no problem reading for long periods of time on a computer and I've always loved reading deeply into long texts, which as described by Jacobs, is skill that is disappearing rapidly.
But sorry, whoever is reading this. It is shallow, pathetic, and short. I am just extremely uninspired. It'll be better next week.
I completely understand what kind of week you're having; it was all I could do to crawl out of bed today. Hope it gets better! I'm enjoying the voice I hear in this blog; I hope I get the chance to read some more!
