Possible Research Breakthrough

[rusty_armour]

I probably shouldn't get too excited, but I think I might have made a research breakthrough for my original fiction idea. Because I continually have to make my life more difficult than it needs to be, I've been pursuing an idea that requires not only research into the paranormal but science (namely physics) as well. Well, I already had some knowledge of the paranormal, as it's been an interest of mine for quite a while now. However, science is definitely not one of my strong suits. Hell, I never even took physics in high school. I purposely took two languages (one of which was Latin) to avoid math and science. I mean, I have a BA in English for a reason. Fortunately, despite my inability to comprehend math and science, I think I've still managed to find a way to make my idea work. I need to do a lot more reading and thinking, but it's progress.

I struggled with science throughout school. However, I've found that my interest in the subject has grown as time passes. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for math. I hate it with a fiery passion. It's been the enemy since the very beginning. I couldn't even grasp it in grade one. It's just something I'll never be able to wrap my head around.

Well if you start asking about Train A and Train B and when they'll meet... Let's just say I'd go flip the switch so we'll hear when they'll meet, rather than calculate it. But I do, sadly, like the logistics which probably explains why I'm in to programming. I just really don't cope well in Math exams (and other exams as well, but Math exams are pure evil).

I wouldn't be able to do an English major. Someone would expect me to study poetry at some point, which is a big non-no. I like reading poetry just don't ask me to analyse it or discuss it.

It's reassuring to know that even people who are good at Math struggle with the Train A and Train B question. I think I'd blow up both trains before they had a chance to leave the station myself...Just kidding. Mostly. *g*

BTW, if it makes you feel any better, I actually failed a math exam. It's the reason why I don't have my grade 11 credit. *g*

Yeah, the analysis can be a bit much sometimes. I know I always preferred discussing fiction over poetry. In a way, an English degree can take a bit of the fun out of reading.

No problem. :-)
