31 Days of Productivity Reading: Day Three

Before: I'm in more of a manga reading mood, but I don't think I'll be picking up ウツボラ today, I think I'll read volume five of 僕らの地球の歩き方 and let me explain my reasoning. Today is the start of my hell week, I have rehearsals for at least four hours each day every day this week (today's rehearsal is six hours long! God please don't let it run the whole time I'll die!) and the drive is the worst part, so I'll be leaving probably two to three hours before rehearsal actually starts and chilling at a cafe so that I don't have to sit in rush hour traffic. Basically, whether it's in a cafe or during breaks in rehearsal, I'll be reading in public. I am not reading ウツボラ in public. Sorry, but I don't trust it. ぼくちき on the other hand tends to be a little less... explicit.

After: I started my day with my Sundaily watch of the most recent ゆびさきと恋々 episode and it was just as cute as always! I’ve been wanting to go camping for a while now and seeing the gang go camping with language learning intent? I wish that were me. Take me along next time.

Managed to finish yesterday’s chapter before rehearsal! Honestly, I stopped at the perfect point last night because the second paragraph I read today was so heavy in scientific jargon that I fully gave up trying to understand it. Here we have no shame in accepting ambiguity when reading in our target languages.

Side note, I really do love No. 6. The hardest part about reading it is picking it up but the second hardest part about reading it is putting it down. I'm forcing myself to stop reading because I just can't afford to read until four am as much as I would love to. Knowing where the story is going just makes me want to read more!

As expected, I didn't get as much reading time in today as I would have liked but did fit some in here and there! I read twenty six pages today over (approximately) an hour and a half. That's a little over three minutes per page, which is nearly a whole minute faster than the past two days' times, but there was a conversation/confrontation between Nezumi and Inukashi which was both extremely engaging and didn't have a whole lot of unknown vocabulary for me.
