About to admit defeat

I do not think I am going to finish the Eggers in all honesty. It is not moving the speed at which I want to read it. I think I got over ambitious on a book with size 2 font that is around 530 pages. So, I guess this means this blogging experience is over. I feel kind of like a loser in a way. I will continue to blog, but I am kind of embarrassed that I cannot even finish a book. I thought this would be the one steady thing in my life I could look forward to that would not fail, and it seems to be failing. I will continue to read as fast as I can, but I don't know.

I feel sick tonight and cannot really read that much. On top of that, I have to be at Gap at 5:45AM tomorrow morning. Sucks to be me.

Today was a really busy, busy day. I went to the dress rehearsal of Berlioz's Damnation of Faust. It was at the Chicago Lyric Opera at 1PM. I took Dena with me. We then went to Garfield Park Conservatory and then home. I cleaned for two hours and then attempted to read.

I will blog about Damnation tomorrow and everything we did today. It was pretty awesome, but damn this sinus/allergy infection. I feel like that is half of what is my defeat this week. This might possibly have to turn into 27 weeks. I hope that is ok for anyone that follows me.

  1. Would you count yourself out if you borrowed the audio version from the library? It's the same story, and you could...read along?

  2. Sometimes it takes times of failure to reach success. Sometimes downfalls no matter how small or large they seem give great lessons when you look back on it. Never be frustrated, just do what you love...do not ever be embarassed. Just keep pushing through.
