Yes, philosophy is all about logical reasoning. And about playing with words to infer anything you want. It's called Rhetoric, an old discipline that was superceded by the less overtly pretentious Philosophy.
I loved science too and of course all my best exam grades were in history, human geography and English...
But I stuck with it and went for computing - one thing I did not do at school, ergo was untainted by bad teachers and negative preconceptions (unlike my old piano teacher who scarred me from music academia for life).
If it's any relief, I got a third (courtesy of too much booze and guitar. and booze.) and am now in high profile company with a good pay.........
So play that rhetoric card and argue your way back to science!
