Ten months of OL

Ten months ago, with a blink of eye, I shook my body and turned into an office lady (just like the monkey king born out of a rock in the famous Chinese novel, who is skilled to change into 72 different things).

To be a statistician wasn't something I had been dreaming of since my childhood, to make long story short, I majored in English, technology management, communication and biostatitics during the past ten years, and none of these fields seems to have much to do with any other one. and the worst thing is since I am never fully clear of what I want, I don't know whether I am getting closer or farther away from it.

One strength I own is that I am able to make myself happy and comfortable in most environments I am in with whatever I have. I not only survived all the math and statistics classes and tests required for the statistics degree (with GPA of 4.0 :D--I must have forgot that I started as an art student, so fear didn't get strong enough to become an obstacle), but I really have learned to enjoy the ten month's white collar life as a statistician.

I am soaked in the contents and happiness of working with world famous (and not ), handsome (and not) surgeons, who highly respect and carefully treasure me just because I am the only different one among them (besides the fact that I am Asian and happen to be good-looking). To them, suturing a human heart (and keeping the person alive of course) is a piece of cake, yet being able to punch and mix numbers in a computer then produce a p value is mysterious and irreplaceable. With this delusion in their mind, I sometimes can't help thinking highly of myself too, and surprisingly have been working very hard so they won't be disappointed. (by the way, the word "hard-working" is never a main stream in my dictionary, I always believe I can make up for my lack of industriousness with my intelligence and easy attitudes toward life).

What I enjoy most so far of course, is that I am actually closer to the ideal goal of myself: enriched with growing knowledge and feelings of accomplishments by contributing to a meaningful undertaking; being able to act for myself and independent both materially and spiritually.
