Well im from Australia and attend a rural university away from home, the only bookstore we have is the one we can buy our text books from and is very small. The accommodation offered on campus consists of 8 ppl living under one roof. So you can see how easy it is to get distracted, especially since your housemate is 1 step away from their room to yours. Not to mention the drinking and loud music that can go on at any hour, which i admit i do participate in. I think im going to make more of an effort this year, since my interest in ready has really bloomed over the last summer holidays. Fingers crossed.
