Emaa that would depend on the type of article it is. Most of the ones I read are theoretical and therefore take quite a long time to read as they can be difficult sometimes. I also like to make a lot of notes in the margins, I never just read something. For a paper like that I would set aside a good two hours if it is important...but then I am a slow reader and I like to take everything in. A research paper that I can read more stragtegically - about on hour.

So Natassia it is not strange to takes me a long time to read and take notes. Because my first language is not english so I think longer time than usual.

Hmmm, sidetracked by one of my friends needing help on a Masters essay. I ended up writing 650 words on it. Can I count this towards my day's total...or should I push on to add 800 words to my actual work?

Day One of my 10 day goal to write my upgrade document.....not going too well.

I've done goals 6 and 7, now for goal 8! I've been on a roll the past few days but I can feel it dwindling away!
