Breaking into a stack of papers

While away from the lab I wanted to take time to jump start some much needed reading.  Today I spent a couple hours in the Queenstown public library with a couple papers on wall slip and my textbook on embedded systems. I went through four papers, although I won't say I 'mastered' these articles.

During my undergraduate I would spend days (actual days; 8+ hours at a time) in the library reading and preparing for exams.  With all the design work in the lab and my numerous extra-curricular activities I haven't been focusing on my reading nearly enough.  I am now on a mission to rediscover my ability to focus my attention entirely into my reading for extended periods.  Additionally, when I get back to Wellington I need to schedule time throughout the week to excuse myself from the lab and head to the library for a period of study.
