Making Progress

Today I started working on my senior project. It took a lot of effort for me to quit procrastinating and begin reading my book. I read both the first and second chapter. So far, the novel is a good read, and i don't regret my decision to pick this book. However, at times the language is difficult to understand. I can't even count on my fingers how many times I have had to pause reading to define a word. I can't fathom how many more times this will happen. More over, this novel The Awaking by Kate Chopin, is enlightening me of my limited vocabulary. It is also revealing that in order for me to evolve  and grow as a reader, I must stop limiting myself to contemporary reads.
