When I was in college I planned to be a chemist. In my second year I ran into Organic Chemistry. Okay... Difficult subject but I studied. Did fine in the lab. Then we had the second semester of it. And I flunked the lecture. I had gotten a D in a class once before in my life, in grade school in history.
So I took it over.. and got a D. I had to give up Chemistry as a major. I wound up taking Biochemistry. Of course as things unfolded I wound up in computers but ... It was a not pleasant shock. It was a definite failure in something I had planned to spend my life doing. It eventually toughened me up and helped me learn how to handle the inevitable failures that life ALWAYS hands you at some point in your life. But its not fun. No one enjoys them, but we all run into them at some point.

altho now every part was above 50% where I had 1 part at 23% last time... so it gives me an ambigous feeling...
