LOL, sorry, I've lost this website address along with my log in info when my computer crashed. Thank God I found it again. To answer your question, I'm studying Biomed Engineering (I love this field but I realized that I'm more inclined to work from home than in a work place). Thanks for the welcome everyone (better late than never, lol).
