We have to face the consequences of our actions.
This was one of the themes that I found after reading Frankenstein. I am now writing in hindsight, since it’s really been a while since January 27, and my English class has been discussing the book for a while. Otherwise, I probably would not have been looking for a theme of this book, and thus, this post wouldn’t begin like this.
Anyway, I did indeed have to face the consequences of my actions tonight. My teacher assigned Frankenstein, a 180-page novel, two weeks ago. How much did I read prior to tonight? About twenty.
So, with my first cup of coffee ever at around 10 pm, I set out to read the entire novel, even if took the entire night. At around 1:00 am, the coffee really kicked in, and I felt so energetic. However, instead of reading the book, I told myself, “Whoa! I got so much energy. I can just read this later!” So, I distracted myself with Facebook and other stuff in the Internet, glancing at the book from time to time to read.
When I realized a couple of hours later that I really was behind, I tried getting back into in completely, but that was when I started yawning. I was half-asleep, still reading the book.
I went to sleep at 6 am, with my alarm ready to go off at 6:30. And the funny part was, I still had a chapter to go.
