Reasons not to let yourself hate Physics

Forget about everything you learnt in class, most of it was boring and there's a high probability that the things you think you understand were actually only part of the story. There is also a high probability that it will all be proved wrong at some point. Physics isn't found in class and it definitely isn't found in exams. Or maybe I over simplified that, I did warn you that that can happen. You can learn the basics in class, the fundamentals some useful applications. Its also where you start to become interested but outside of class is where you cultivate your interest. Outside, on the Internet, reading books, going to lectures is where you sit up and pay attention. Doing homework at 10 o'clock at night, staying late at school, working through lunchtimes, marking endless equations and copying down pages of notes that are pretty much completely useless because your handwriting is bordering on illegible at the best of times. That's not physics just as reading about skydiving isn't skydiving. The really exciting stuff, the things to blow your mind and give you goose bumps, that's at university. I cannot wait!
