The Open Acquisition

These last nine weeks of the semester, our class is individually acquiring a skill. I myself have chosen the wonderful talent of speed reading. It is a fairly self explanatory title, as i am learning to read faster. So far I have found this to be incredibly enjoyable, though I have not yet applied it to reading outside of my training. Soon I hope to practice outside of practice, and be able to put it to good use in reading packets and such for classes. This skill is going to greatly test my ability to work on my own. It doesn't have a near or solid due date, and I am a tried and true procrastinator. Whether or not I succeed is based off of my ability to force myself into working on the skill. It so far does not seem overly difficult to learn, it is all based off of setting time aside for it. If I do succeed though, this will be incredibly useful in college. If I have little time to study, because I want to be social, though unlikely, we will continue with the hypothetical. In this scenario I will be able to go through the content necessary at a far higher rate of speed, opening up my time for social activities. This skill was inspired by a friend, which led me to this site, extending my want to learn this. http://www.spreeder.com It was very helpful in getting me started.
