Hello and welcome to a new Thursday Taster,
the day when awesome writers all over the blogosphere come together to
give you tasty bits of their last fiction. You can find the list here.
We start right where we left off last week.
"I don't think
biology is easier than physics," I interrupted Amy. "I mean
look at all that new vocabulary that you need to use all the time and
to learn and I'm not even telling you about the organic chemistry
formulas, those are atrocious."
Amy first looked at me
blankly until I said atrocious and then she laughed but it was a sad
laugh.
"Maybe," she
said.
I didn't want to hear her
complain about Alex and how unfair in was for her. I had no sibling
except for Jonas, I had been alone with my mother most of my life and
I always imagined that it would be great to have someone to play with
someone who had to love you but I didn't imagine what it could be
like.
"The thing is, it
doesn't matter if it's hard or not, the only thing that matter is
that Alex is doing physics because he is the smart one and I'm doing
biology because that's the thing I should be doing. They'll never
validate me unless I become president or something." Amy said.
"Then why did you
chose biology, why not take physics like Alex and finish the
competition with him?"
"Because I want
to..."
"Yes," I said.
"No, that's silly ok
let'S forget about it," Amy said.
"So that's what you
told your parents? That you were going to do biology for a silly
reason?"
"I told them I
wanted to study marine biology and oceanography and they answered
that at least I could find a job at a restaurant cooking fish or on a
fisherman boat."
"Really?" I
said.
"They have no idea
what marine biology is and they have no idea what research actually
is at all so imagine if I had told them that I wanted to look for
aliens."
"Aliens, you mean
like astrobiology and atmospheric research on exoplanets?" I
asked.
