When will I finish?

So if you are in University, I do not need to explain to you the amount of readings there are. It seems as though, once you finish a few chapters for a class, there are another 3 more to read for that same class (because the chapters took you almost a week to read--being 100 pages each and all)... I think you are forgetting that is only one class. Add four more to that and you get: 1,062 pages to read every week, on average.

I have yet to come up with a solution to better this problem. However, I will say that once you get ahead of things, it's easier to stay on top of them. It's too bad that the exact minute the term actually starts (on the midnight of the day of--e.g. I started school on Thursday, so as of Thursday at 12:01 AM), you are already behind. And you can't help this. No matter how hard to try. You get to class, and that's when you realize just how much you're behind--and the term has only been in progress for less than 12 hours.

Would speed reading classes help? In my opinion, no. Only because when you read for a class, you are trying to absorb a lot of the information that the textbook throws at you, so I imagine that speed reading would only hinder that process.

So what can you do? Nothing.. You know why? Because the University and your profs owe you nothing. You are basically a pawn in their money-grabbing game.

That is all.
