I love biology but can't stand chemistry. I've been thinking alot on what attracts me to biology instead of chemistry and i thinks it's because of my love for life. Chemistry has always annoyed me in a necessary evil sort of way. What science attracts you and why? I ask cause i'm curious if people mostly share a general reason or not.

Astronomy, right off the bat. It's one of the few sciences in which the amateur can still contribute. Also, for some reason, I seem to have developed the innate grasp of Physics that I never had at school; I can follow concepts such as the transference of energy within a system and understand every stage of what's going on, even if I'll never win a Nobel Prize.
In fact, I can pretty much understand just about any scientific concepts if they're explained properly for me, though unless they involve the fields I mentioned, I do have to work at them. Maths, on the other hand, is right out (oddly enough though, I have a far better memory for numbers than I ever have for names. If that means anything).
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm ok in math as long as i go at my pace. And i like physics to a point but i tend to drift away. I love social behavior in animals (one reason why religion fascinates me). What about astronomy does it for you?

I tended to get higher grades in biology than I did in chemistry or physics. I find it all fascinating really.

I wonder if there is a trend with these things though. Like if you like biology there is a higher chance you don't like chemistry. Probably sounds silly but most people in my biology class don't like chemistry.

Science fiction I'm a natural at.

I love biology and chemistry, especially now at university level where I get to combine them into pharmaceutical studies. The way medicine molecules act in the human body.. Brilliant and fascinating!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I'm quite fond of linguistics.
