Review book whore...

It's that time of the year--the time when second years all across America are sitting for their first Licensing exam... the stress is palpable, and when it's over, one of the most cathartic activities is to dispose of your review books--mostly to eager and pre-maturely nervous first years who will be sitting for the exam next year and are looking for steals on board prep material (which can be shockingly expensive)...

anyway, the long and short of it is that I am a total review book whore, and in the last couple months, I think I've accumulated nearly thirty review texts... That's three-zero... i think it's a shocking number...

it's almost evolved to a sport for me, where some recently relieved-of-their-burden second year sends out an email to our class list, and we all hungrily pounce on the texts before someone else can snatch them up... it's probably the fiercest competition our class has had relative to anything ever...

and i'm probably the worst offender in the class... i love getting these books--I love it... god knows if I'll ever use them, but having them is reassuring to me... if all that passing the boards involved was building a fort out of text books, i would be a total shoe-in for a snappy mark... but the problem is that i've got to get that stuff in my head--if only i could develop and similarly rewarding sensation for actually reading these tomes...

anyway, if any of my classmates are reading this, let me apologize... i'm sorry, but i can't help myself... it's totally compulsive...

and the real kicker to all of this is that our school library has every review book you could possibly want on their shelves... i think this is some sort of ailment...

well... hmm....

cheers,
