It is unbelievable but everything I avoid in my life, either because it’s too difficult or because I hate it, follows me and becomes a big part of my life.

Some example between the many:

- At school I hated trigonometry – and it was what saved me on the exams to access University.

- Always hated Physics and Atmospheres – worked on it for a research grant back in Portugal.

- At Uni I hated and could not understand spectroscopy – ended up doing a PhD in spectroscopy (although I’m not sure I understand it yet)

And the worst one:

I always avoided anything related to IT (I really, really don’t like it and technology never works with me) – Russ and I are starting a business in IT. Still, I hoped to take care of the management stuff and leave the technical things to Russ. But at the moment I am working on the company web site…

And even worse, even on my spare time I am doing some course related to Geology and now I am having to program!!!

Arrrghhhhhhhhh
