crucible read-a-thon

So, this is my story for today: On Wednesday, in English class, my teacher hands us the play, The Crucible by Arthur Miller. His words: "This is the next thing we're going to read." We, the students, put it into our lockers. The next day, we come back to class. At the end of the period, he states that we need to have it finished by Monday. So, here I am, starting this play, the day before we have to finish it. I mean, it's not necessarily long or anything, but I have to sit here on a Sunday afternoon - when I'd much rather be napping in my comfortable bed -  for an extended period of time, and read about the Salem Witch Trials.
That's my story. I hope it intrigued you, kept you on the edge of your seats, I'm sure. Just kidding. I'm basically stalling right now. Okay, I need to focus. Fo-cus. Not the car, the verb. Just to clarify. Oh goodness, I'm horrible. I'm just going to keep you updated along the way as I attempt to do this.

Start Time: Approximately 2:30
2:30 One sentence in, and I've already yawned. Not a good sign.
2:54 I'm thirsty..
3:14 I'm on page 18...I keep getting distracted, but now they're talking about people dancing in the forest, a girl is naked, and one girl is drinking blood. This will be an interesting read..
3:22 "John, pity me, pity me!" - the words of a 17 year old girl, after being refused by John. She is also the blood drinker. Sounds like this girl has some issues.
3:28 "A child's spirit is like a child, you can never catch it by running after it; you must stand still, and, for love, it will soon itself come back" (Rebecca 25). Good quote.
3:33 This young girl, Betty is lying inert on her bed, and her father and other townspeople are sitting there arguing about his salary as the minister. Uh, people?
3:38 This is getting really hard to keep my eyes open.... Just a small break. I'll set my alarm for half an hour..
5:11 Yep, so I'm back now. Took a little longer than expected..I think I'm making this harder than it needs to be. How is it that I'm still on the first act?

Well, this is where I'm going to end my bloggy-post for today. The success of finishing the Crucible today is yet to happen. I'm going to finish before ninth hour tomorrow, though. For sure.
