Made it this far, and I'm near the end of the Shiz university section. Historically, this is when I tend to stop reading, because the second half of this book depresses the hell out of me.

It's been over 15 years since I was reading this book regularly (Wicked was a favourite when I was a teenager) and not only did I forget a lot of the finer details of the plot, it's hilarious to me just how much just flew straight over my head as a teenager. Was it because this was one of my first real English reads? Was it because I was a really innocent and naive kid? LOL.

I am not super motivated to finish this. Also, the audiobook narrator doesn't know how to pronounce a few of the names and it's driving me up the wall.
