Physics, Chem, but also History and Latin. but something like economics feels boring. usuially, i just see what the wind blows in my face, and when i have to choose, i try to choose widely, but go to a more exact part then most.
right now, i am trying to study what i have for school, because i am barely making VWO (approx A levels in Britain, i dunno in the states). but in my free time i go for physics and Roman history, but also Biochem, or just Chem. and i might be getting in to Quantumphysics soon, in some out-of-school activity.


I prefer Physics, Roman histroy, Middle Ages, Military, Space&Tech, Nature...:D

That's inaccurate. Where's that site with all the digits nicely arranged so that they're displayed with a big PI running over the top of them in a different colour?

PI is actually pretty damned deterministic, just transcendental. Its worthless as a random number generator.

What was that von Nueman quote? "Anyone who considers arithmetic means of generating random digits exists in a state of sin." I think it was. :D

I don't think I feel quite qualified to hand you any advice, Maeg. :) But I can say, I've definitely experienced that whole washing over feeling before. In fact, I'm kind of in that position right now... transitional period. ;)

now, i read about people who were (going to be) teaching, and i noticed i forgot to include that in my own post. my plans for the future are rather simple now:
i intend to finish highschool, perhaps do a year of traveling, or perhaps just go to university. i'll study a subject i like a lot, it doesn't really matter what. i'll try and do journalism next too it, so i can write about  my subject in scientific magazines as a job, and i'll try to get my teaching degree thingy, so i can teach my subject too. i really like teaching and writing, and i feel i an explain most stuff clearly, the moment i understand it myself. whatever i want to do, i want something where advancements are made a lot, so it stays new. History might be fun, but Physics, Chem, or something like Biochem or Biomed too.  right now i am oriented towards exact stuff, by the way i have my subjects at school, and i think i want to go for it. but if it turns out history might suit me better, i'll go there. even maths might be something.

really, if you are as widely talented as you say you are, you can really do anything, so choose when you have too and choose widely.most importantly, try to have fun doing what you do.
