I have a newfound respect for anesthesia. Ever since I had surgery a few weeks ago, I discovered that anesthesia is an innovative drug (?) that has saved millions of people from excruciating pain.

Because I do not want to go to medical school, take the MCAT, have 3 years of residency and spend several years in medical school, I decided that the best path for me would be to become a nurse anesthetist. I am still doing research on this career, but hopefully this will suit me well.

The thought of being a guardian angel, looking over the patient makes me smile. Anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetist essentially ease the pain and make patients wake up and realize the hard, long surgery is over.

I know, I know – It’s quite sad. I’m an awful cook. Ironically, I am a connoisseur. I’m in the process of learning from my mother, though. Hopefully I won’t food poison myself when I finally cook by myself!
So far, I have successfully made easy things:
Fried rice, some Asian omelet-like thing…, eggs, and some random Asian dishes. Hopefully I can be a full-fledged chef (ha!) by the end of summer!

If things go as planned, I’ll be going to Spain spring quarter. Finally! :)
