Finished Reading - Great Joy
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.

When I was in the music business, there was a record producer who lived in New Jersey, but refused to come into New York City. Anyone that wanted to meet with him had to drive all the way down to his little town. I thought, “What’s his problem? Is he lazy o…
