Finished Reading First Textbook for the Semester
I feel so accomplished. I am done reading my biopsychology book. It was not too big, only 18 chapters, but it always feel good to finish a textbook. It is a lot different then finishing a regular book because with a regular book you get an ounce of enjoyment reading it, and with a textbook you are focusing on every single word in the book and try to cram as much of it as you can into your memory.
Finishing a textbook is always a sign of semester coming to a close. Feels good to be one step closer to the goal. This also means that four brand new textbooks are just around the corner.
