        Only if I don’t win this 🙂

        Seriously, I think it is normal to have doubts in life, one thing I know for sure is I am happy and lots of people in the world aren’t. I am lucky to have the choice and I really value that

        No.
        I enjoy it too much.

        I will be completely honest with you and say, Yes I have! Sometimes it is difficult and at times that can make you want to stop doing it, just like anything. But when it is good it is very good and I think that outweighs the bad which is why I have never actually given up. I wouldn’t want to do anything too easy, I went into science because it is a challenge and I like that, but I am only human so I would be a big liar if I said it had never crossed my mind.

        Oh for sure. Usually at some silly hour in the morning, something has just exploded in a truly unhelpful manner, and you have to wonder WHY AM I DOING THIS?!

        But sleep and/or more coffee usually sorts the problem out.
