Last year while doing 1+2 Physics, I found it a pain because the concepts were hard to understand and I found it hard to get my head around them.

However, this year, I'm finding that once I fully understand the concept, the subject is not that difficult.

Despite this, if I had to choose between Chemistry (since I also do Chem) or Physics, Chem would be my preference.  :)

I love Physics. The concepts fascinate me, and the fact that pretty much everything applies to real life on a daily basis make it all the more interesting.

By the way (I didn't want to start a new thread just for this), anyone else's school going to the Luna Park Physics Day 3rd, 4th, or 5th this week??

I think it has to be organised through school, but definately ask your teacher about it!

Alot of people tend to do Physics for the status, for example, you may think its silly to do specialist maths and not do physics. However, I think most people enjoy coz it's a really great subject, you learn stuff that applies to real life situations, wats not cool about that :)

Yep, like why the sky is blue and also if I wanted to throw an apple 10m with a speed of 5m/s, I can calculate the time it takes to hit my target (provided I ignore wind resistance).  :P

I'm not mocking you, just wanted to add a little humour in my not so happy Friday.

We learnt about how it works in Uni Physics ^^
Who wouldn't want to know how it works!
