That actually sounds less boring that it appears.

Although it must be tough to actually 'enjoy' a piece if you have all that analytic knowledge crammed in your skull. It kind of ruins your life, especially if you see your work or field of study in everyday life.

The magic in life fades as you age.

That "loss of magic" is what turned me away from astronomy. I got myself out of considering going into that field before it was too late.

I'm in too deep now. The knowledge fascinates me, because I hate secrets.

I'd consider being a detective if designing a supervirus that'll kill the world's population wasn't higher on my list.

Biochemisty, I intend to specialize in virology.

To be honest though, I don't like sitting in a lab. Preferably I'd travel abroad to inspect crops for diseases or something. Although investigating possible epidemics sounds interesting too.

Knowing that a mistake on my part might have serious consequences sounds somewhat...unsettling, but still.

Sounds cool. Try to stifle the urge to create an evil bio-weapon and obliterating us all off the face of the planet. :p

Would totally skype if I weren't still hacking up a lung. :(

In the meantime, here's my take on all the political bullshit we're dealing with across the board, at least in the US. "I don't care what it takes at this point, just fix it goddammit."
