As a note of encouragement, please think about things this way.
I'd assume that, to some people, your psychological make up will term "Shakespeare" with "Pain" "Boredom" "Suffering", and what have you. Try to think about it more positively, and you'll find that it will ease the monotony and the difficulty of understanding the true nature of Shakespeare.
In which, very few of us will ever come close to achieving such a feat.
Having said that, Shakespeare will be more enjoyable this year, mainly because we have all (or hopefully, most of us) grown up and matured over the holidays, and now, we can appreciate Shakespeare more than Junior school.
