Introductions should not be longer than the texts they introduce

Allow me to bitch about real life for a bit.  I have so much reading to do, it's insane.  I really like my classes--I fought to get spots in most of them--but the downside of having 4.5 truly interesting classes is that I now have to do the work for said classes.  Whereas last semester, I had 1 truly interesting class, and 3 boring classes that I could more or less bs my way through.  Grrr.
