On amazement

Organ physio...definitely not easy, but much more enjoyable than CBB ever was. Adding to my enjoyment is that two of my professors are Australian; one with an Australian accent, and the second with a decidedly British accent and flair.

And by flair I mean a bow tie. Dr. West is one of the most interesting people I have ever met. Turns out the guy basically invented the lung (okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating), and he graduated from medical school (in Australia) when he was 23. Twenty three. That's how old some of my classmates are now, and we're just getting started. And then he went to Britain, and then subsequently moved to the states. The 81-year-old has, to date, made two trips up Everst in his lifetime (maybe he didn't reach the summit, but still, how many people can say that?). He has also done work with NASA studying the respiratory system in microgravity.

And above all, he is just an awesome professor.

And therefore, he amazes me.
