Reading is most consuming

I have 35 pages of writing due tomorrow in 7 different 5 page papers. To accomplish 6 of those papers, I need to read approximately 400 pages worth of material. The 7th paper requires me to watch a two hour film.

I started this afternoon at 1:00. Reading has easily been the most time consuming part. I can generally write on of the 5 page papers (which the shortest is actually 5 and a half at this point) in 30-40 minutes while it takes me much longer than that to read the roughly 75 text book pages that are required for each.

I just finished another reading section. I'm about to go type another paper. Thanks for warming up my fingers.

edit: An update for those of you who are curious. It is now 2:40am and I'm going to bed. Overall I worked from 1:00 in the afternoon with 4 hours of break. In the 9 hours 45 minutes or so that I worked I read 400 pages and wrote six papers totaling 34 pages. When I wake up I'll watch the two hour movie and write the last 5 page paper before driving to campus to turn them in. Not bad for a day's work.
