Hi there
Hi everyone. I'm 17 and from England. I am currently doing A/s levels in maths, physics, chemistry and biology so most people think I'm completely mad.

Re: Hi there
Hi stardust,
Welcome to the forum! 
What most people think is not right,
you're pretty smart 
You have taken very good subjects!

Re: Hi there
The people who think you are mad are probably mad.
Do you have plans for a career in any of those areas?

Re: Hi there
The people who think you are mad are probably mad.
But it you think they are mad then does that mean that you're mad?
And now that I have said that does that make me mad?
If I call myself mad am I mad for saying that?
All this confusion... it's maddening.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Hi there
chemistry may be better. A drug development usually costs 10 years ! ! And you will expect to be some thing like a manager day after day.

Re: Hi there
I think I am leaning towards the biochemistry at the moment as I find some of the physical chemistry quite hard

Re: Hi there
How hard? exploring radioactiveness? Using quatum theory? or discovering Nanotech?
