Education in the United States

I've got one more chapter about diabetes to read and then I can finally start getting ready for bed. Wednesday is the big exam day. I'm only a little nervous about it because it's such a huge exam, but I feel really well-prepared. Some horrible memory loss would have to occur for me to forget everything I've studied. I think what helps me is that I'm so fascinated with the material. Every now and then I'll look around the classroom and study the other students' faces to see what kind of reactions they're having to the materials and the lectures. I can honestly say that at least half of them look bored or disinterested in some way. I really can't figure out why! I practically hang onto the teacher's every word. I think, definitely, I'm discovering a passion I never really knew I had. I just don't know how to apply this passion yet. I know that I'm interested in studying it all, but I don't see myself becoming a doctor or anything. Maybe I'll be a researcher! Then I can read about all this fascinating material all the time and get paid for it! I think I may be on to something. Not to sound too over-eager but I'm actually looking forward to the exam!
