School Work

I was reading my college alumni newsletter and came across the title of a recently published paper by an old professor of mine -- "Effects of Water Motion and Prey Behavior on Zooplankton Capture by Two Coral Reef Fish."

I know, pretty out there, but why is it that most of the subjects we learned in school turn out to be some of the most interesting things we come across in life? Is it the freedom? The Excitement? The Drugs?
