Question: is it boring being a scientist

Hi,
To be honest, there were some topics of science at school and at university which I found quite boring. But that was learning about what other people had done in the past, now I am working directly on my research there is never a boring day! Every day is different. Although there might be times when Science is annoying or frustrating, the way that you solve those problems is really exciting and it makes you feel great when you do!
