I literally thought I'd never say this, but I seriously love math. Well, maybe not statistics, but definitely calculus. I never thought a day would come when I could set aside time, sigh, and say, "Okay, let's do some math," as if it was a reward.

I've come to see math as a very pure discipline. I'm not such a fan of all the numbers and calculations involved in chemistry and physics, but I very much enjoy doing my calculus problems nowadays. It's not a bad position to be in, really.

It's definitely taken a long time for me to love math. In high school, I hated it because I wasn't good at it. But, I wasn't good at it because I didn't practice it. So, like they say, all it takes is a bit of hard work, and before you know it, your hard work is paying off.

It's a little daunting really, finding myself in the middle of an engineering degree program. I surprise myself daily with the crazy stuff we learn everyday at Georgia Tech. Nice little place to go chase your dreams.
