Terminus

Day 9.

The Word of the Day Thursday is: Terminus. Definition: end, last stop.

Tomorrow is the last day of the semester. My first semester. Two exams stand between me and Christmas break. So I have almost reached the terminus. You know the feeling you get when you are about to accomplish something great, well I’ve got that feeling. I feel like I am one semester closer to obtaining my degree and living my life beyond textbooks and dorm rooms. I am not in a hurry for this to end necessarily, but, at the same time, it is exciting to think about the prospect of one day being something more than a student.

One semester down, 11 and a half more years to go until I am a full-fledged doctor. Seems forever, but the big terminus is many small endings from now. Every ending is a new beginning right? So I will take each terminus as a small victory. That’s all we’re really doing, accomplishing small things everyday…always looking forward to what’s ahead. I will continue to study, (seems it’s consuming my life right now) looking for the terminus tomorrow As the Clock Ticks…
