Schoolwork Avoidance
Nov. 13th, 2009 07:03 pmLalalala why are all my poli sci readings so boring? This is my major; it should be fun! Though at least I'm finally done Principles of Representative Government. The only way I can think to even slightly improve my experience of reading that book would have been a trip to France to hit Bernard Manin upside the head with a copy. Preferably hardcover.
So now I'm reading Michael Freeden's Ideology: A Very Short Introduction. It's short so that's a plus! And Freeden's style is more readable even if the early chapters are kind of dry. Although there are bits where it's like 'hahahahaha America. Why does this sound so much like you?' so that's fun. I haven't figured out how to make fun of it/anthropomorphize the book concepts yet so it'll be a bit before I can amuse myself properly with the reading.
I fail at not procrastinating. >_> I don't wanna read; I'm BORED. Okay if I read a chapter, I get to watch the new episode of Vampire Diaries before writing my presentation. That will be good incentive. =)
