The Ample Time To Read

So this course that I am attending is very interesting in the fact that it isn't interesting at all. My schedule is simple and goes by rather quickly, due to the books. Monday through Friday this is how my regular day would go: 4:45 my alarm goes off, get up and get dressed for first formation at 5:30, after formation do P.T. until 6:20-6:30, return to my room to eat breakfast and shower. 7:20 rolls around I head out to class, 7:30 class is supposed to start. I end up sitting in my chair reading a book until the instructors are ready to start the lesson which isn't until about 8:00. The course work takes anywhere from 10-25 minutes but are allotted one hour to complete the course work for the hour. So again I wait until the end of the hour reading. At the end of the hour we are given a 15-20 minute break. We do this 2-3 times from 8:00-11:00 and then are let go for lunch, which is two hours from 11:00-1:00. When we return for the day we aren't in class, instead we head over to the learning center to sit at a laptop and do whatever needs to be done to pass time until at least 3:00. (I am in the learning center now...) On average I read about 3 hours a day Monday through Friday just in the first half of the day. I have completed reading 7 books so far in only 4 weeks, and the I didn't even start reading until my second week here. I am supposed to get out of here the 16th of March, but for some reason they just made this course even longer. What are we going to do, there isn't enough for us to do now? I have read "The Things They Carried, Breaking Dawn, Path of The Planeswalkers, Resistance, Alice In Wonderland, Through The Looking Glass and am reading The Wizard of Oz." I plan on reading other material though, i plan on getting "The Tipping Point, One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest, Catch 22."
