I saw you want to go to med school. I'm a physician. Best of luck!

Of course! I just hope you don't find anything in my journal offensive...mainly in regards to the fact I want to be a physician but can barely take care of myself, heh.

I highly recommend this book. I am reading it right now. It's about addiction - not a specific type, but addiction defined as the idea of looking to outside people or other sources as opposed to inside yourself for love and happiness. It is fantastic, and I think you would really like it. You can get it used from like less than $1 on Amazon. ♥

Thanks for all of these! I'm working at a bookstore and it's always great to be able to recommend books based upon what other people I know have read. :)

I'm a big Stephen King, so I have read a couple of his short story collections. I believe I read Night Shift and Skeleton Key, but I don't remember much about either. But I'm excited to hear you've read some of his short stories!
