Wow, that's interesting! Does wrestling and chemistry have anything in common?

Not really......I still find myself interested in a lot of the things I was into before I started transitioning. I'm a psych major and I learned why that is in the spring semester. The more you are exposed to something, the more likely you are to enjoy it. For instance, have you ever felt something was bad at first but you kept with it and eventually you found you liked it? The human brain is wired in such a way to make us accept the things we have to deal with all the time. It might seem odd, but anyone can enjoy anything, there really isn't any gender barrier when it comes to interests.
Also, I was hoping you'd reply again because I didn't wanna go back and edit my first post to give away my story so I'll just do it here.
For a while, I was a guy who always wanted to be a woman. Unfortunately, in my present circumstances, I can't do much about it, because I have an inordinate amount of testosterone in me which means my facial hair grows really fast. I can shave it all off, clean as a whistle and two hours later, I've got stubble again. Last year, I got tired of shaving altogether and went months at a time without shaving. It got to the point where I had to start combing it. Now I'm shaving more often as I am pressing more fully towards transitioning. I didn't even realize I was a transsexual until I sought out some counseling this past spring.
I'm 27 now, and taking summer classes. Right now, I'm in chemistry as I said. The class is pretty easy...I might have been in trouble if I hadn't taken some more of the advanced math courses before. Every class is two hours long so we kind rush through everything. I don't really mind it necessarily- if you have a strong short-term memory, then you can do well. Like in my case, I have a memory that borders on eidetic. I have lapses in concentration sometimes, but I also have a knack for remembering details all over the place.
Can you tell I used to be a writer? A few years back, I wrote two novels on my own, but didn't consider them good enough to be published. Now and again, I try writing stuff but usually don't stick with it. I guess that might be something else I can do with my free time. There's only so much wrestling you can watch until you get to the point where you wanna do something else- at least I feel that way. In between semesters, I noticed that I was spending a lot of time on my PS2, so I decided to leave it home. Now I've got about 9-10 hours free out of every day. Don't be surprised if you see me on here a lot.
