The most expensive thing I every bought is probably a nintendo Wii. I bought it in a bundle, with a Wii Fit balance board controller a few summers ago. I really love Rock Band and Guitar Hero, and was tired of having to go to someone else’s place or be invited to play it. I am not really into shooting games, so I decided a Wii would probably be the best thing for me. I worked for my dad around the house, doing odd jobs to afford the game system. I was making $10-15 an hour, so it didn’t take too long to save up the money. I’m glad that I did, because I really like having a game system that I can use with my friends, in my own apartment, whenever I want.

If I could have any car, it would probably be some imaginary car that is both very big, and has great gas mileage. My family always had suburbans so we could fit all three of us kids and my parents comfortably for trips around town or to visit relatives in other states. In high school, I soon came to understand the value of a car that can seat 7 passengers, as it made going places with a lot of friends quite easy. I also like having a lot of room for packing things if I’m going on a long trip. Big cars usually don’t have very good gas mileage, and are hard to reason as worth the costs unless you have a big family and need a lot of seats. If this large car I want could get 30 miles to the gallon, and also have 4 wheel drive, it would be perfect for me.

I took a class last year called Surgery for Engineers. It is a class for biomedical engineers, and was unlike any other course I’ve taken before. The class only met once a week, on Wednesday nights, for 3 hours. During these lectures, we would usually hear from two different speakers, experts in various fields of surgery. The class also had a practicum component. We worked in small groups on a semester-long project, designing a device that would help surgeons in a particular area of surgery (my group did orthopedic surgery.) To help us with our projects, we got to observe different surgeries, from the operating room, to see what types of problems these surgeons might face and to build a mentor-like relationship with different surgeons. I am really interested in pursuing surgery as a carreer, so this was a really neat opportunity for me.

My favorite animal is definitely a dog. I have had many different dogs as pets, growing up, and I have loved every one of them, differently. I am a dog person. I have a sort of dog-dar that allows me to spot dogs in the general vicinity of anywhere I am. I love to spoil dogs with love and attention. I like to find their secret spots that make their legs kick when you scratch them. Lots of people think they’re gross, but I love doggy kisses. I love that whenever I go out, I can return to a happy face, and a wagging tail, and a dog so excited that it seems it has been waiting years for my arrival.

My favorite website is hulu.com. I like a lot of different television shows, but I usually am not able to watch them during their regularly scheduled air time. I also hate to miss an episode and not be able to understand exactly what’s going on. On hulu.com, I can watch the shows that I’ve missed, in the order in which they were aired. I do sometimes have to wait a week after the show has aired to watch it online, but it’s always worth it. I also don’t have to sit through the extensive commercial breaks during shows when I watch them on television, because hulu.com commercial breaks only last up to 30 seconds.

I would definitely convince my parents to let me pursue English literature at the university level. I was probably too pleased to have gotten out of the whole medical school racket. I figured that I was pushing my luck and settled for a science degree. But then, my passion has always been writing. I’m sure that if I had taken that as my major, my career prospects would have looked a lot bleaker but I would have certainly felt a lot more happier about myself. However, as I write these words, I can still hope that life affords me another chance.

I had spent five years and a great deal of my parents money at the university trying to get a Degree in Biochemistry and Biotechnology. There were two slight obstacles to my progress: failed courses and temporarily being out of school. So, I changed from that to a Biochemistry Degree. Eventually, I still needed 12 courses to complete my degree and not enough time because my parents were hounding me and refused to send any more money. Walking the tight rope, I changed to a general chemistry degree that had less courses and barely completed it while at the same time spruced up grades and scanned the same degree but with biochemistry on it to send to my parents. They have bought it so far!!!!

I am a reader and enjoy hours reading up on almost any topic. It was my father who inculcated this habit in me and started me off on this road with Oliver Twist. Then followed Bleak House, David Copperfield, Nicolas Nickelby etc. When puberty hit, I got started on the racier stuff most prominently Sidney Sheldon. My reading has become more selective over the years and I am more interested in non-fiction primarily of the biographical or autobiographical nature. I wish that there was a way in which I could absorb a book in a matter of seconds. I would seriously consider spending my savings on such a device.
