> 14 vastly different experiment of the caliber described in that post in the course of one semester

My one remaining did-not-graduate nightmare is that I never completed that course. And I was an experimentalist.

> This experience drove me right into theoretical physics

Had a summer student work on my nearly-intractable dissertation experiment. He immediately switched to theory.

It's not that bad of a course, it's just a struggle because it's different than all other physics courses you take.

In that class you aren't being graded on getting to the right answer. You are getting graded on how you approach getting the right answer, and no one expects you to get the right answer - in the ball park is generally the average for the course.
