Finished Reading - Great Joy

| life | school |

Words can not begin to describe the amount of joy that I feel now that I am completely finished with my textbooks for this semester. I read an cumulative 900 pages of random, boring, sometimes interesting, irrelevant text on topics in speech, anthropology, and computer science.

I have never been this happy to finish a book.

It still amazes me how far I have come since my high school days. I kid you not I did not finish a single chapter in a textbook all throughout high school. I never felt the need to and still managed to graduate with honors.

College is a whole different ball game and I think I read more text this semester then I have in my entire high school career. :D

It feels good to be done. Unfortunately I only get a short break before I need to do it all over again in Jan. :(

I honestly feel like it will never ever end. When I am done with my BS, I have to go to grad school so thats more reading. When I am done with my MD I will have to do internship and residency and I see the residents I work with in dermatology constantly caught up in books so that is even more reading.

Even the attending doctors are always reading reading reading… I mean gosh! Cant I get a podcast or something? :p

I have been to a doctors house and his whole entire basement is filled with volumes of different books and magazines about dermatology. I pray to god that that is not me one day. :D

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.

On people writing about their use of AI

I find the trend of people posting about the way they use generative AI to be fascinating at an anthropological level. I do not remember the last time a piece of technology pushed so many different people into writing about the way they use it, or not use...
