The blog hop is hosted by Jen from Crazy for Books. This weeks question is: What do you consider the most important in a story: the plot or the characters?
Although both plot and characters can be important, I find it really hard to enjoy a good plot if I don't appreciate the characters. I'm also a big fan of literary fiction in which plot doesn't play a key role in the novel so I'm going to have to side with characters in this debate.

This week's question: What did you study in college, or are currently studying and did it lead to your current 9 to 5 or are you doing something totally different?
I'm actually still in college. I'm a first year masters student in biological sciences with my area of research being plant epigenetics. And yes, I'm a huge nerd. I'm hoping for a future in research either in an academic setting like a university or government lab. Hopefully I can find something I love, but I definitely still have quite a few more years of school left first! Reading and blogging are some of the ways I relax and work parts of my brain dedicated to things beside science.

Happy Friday! I like your answers! My undergrad was in Molecular Biology & Genetics and I worked in research for a bunch of years before I started teaching. I have a MAEd. I like teaching better than research :) Drop by my blog and see the rest of my answers!
