The answer to all these questions (and many others) is simple: "because you are a Boston sports fan."

I want to do science well. Maybe it's because the absolute logic of science appeals to me, or maybe it's because I'd rather not be forced into marrying rich to survive, but I always wanted to try science classes in high school.
