alright, well here's my story (sorry for the long read, heads up now lol :P)
in high school, i did absolutely no work at all. i pursued all the sciences however and did fairly well in biology and chemistry as well as math (advanced functions and calculus). thing is, never had an interest in physics back then (thought i would pursue a degree in either accounting or medicine). made up my mind and decided to enter university to pursue a degree in biochemistry. well i entered university and had to take entry level calculus (1 & 2) as well as physics 1 & 2.
well university started and i picked up my physics textbook and started to study and let me just say i have never been this interested in a subject before. would skip lectures just so i could work on physics. actually didnt like studying any course other than physics.
only problems i have are
1. i can not perform on physics tests (well tests in all subjects, actually). i don't know why but the problems in the textbooks are much more difficult than the tests yet i still performed horribly (B in physics 1, C- in physics 2)
2. not the biggest fan of math. maybe its because i won't ever need math again that i didnt do as well as i'd think (i know, horrible excuse, I am an idiot)
3. i may want to pursue medicine after my undergrad but I am not sure if i can even pass physics, let alone get into a physics grad program/something as difficult as medicine
as of right now I am off during the summer, just volunteering at a physicians clinic so i have a lot of time off to think about what i want to do with my life.
thank you
