I had a lot going on in my mind during class, came home, and then had even more because i got into a giant debate with a 16 year old vegan straightedge anarchist that believes college to be EVIIILLLLLLLLL.
So I've been using my very minuscule amount of mental capacity to defend my position on genuinely loving school and the pursuit of knowledge. That I know, in the end, will be an entire waste because neither one of us is going to change our minds.
ANYWHO.
Today's class RAWKED. I had so much fun and am so happy to have finally realized that I found a niche that I don't mind cuddling right on up into.
I want to touch on a few points I've noticed in the reading, because I'm starting to see wonderfully colorful and exciting patterns in what Melissa is assigning us and the discussion we're having in class, and outside in the writing center as well. I love seeing the names of author's I've actually read something from, crop up in something else I'm reading. I love love love it. :) It makes me feel all connected and in the loop and what not. I don't feel like I'm grasping into the dark abyss trying to figure out how to connected almost entirely unrelated material that is just handed to me to be read and understood. I don't know why this is such a big deal to me, but I have an inkling that it has something to do with the previous 14 years of public schooling I have participated in that rarely seemed helpful and never connected.
Anyway, Its super late and I'll get back to this tomorrow when my brain can function.

I love that loop feeling when readings from various classes connect!
ReplyDeleteA pre-journal entry? I love it. You mention feeling connected and in the loop, and I'm glad you're getting to that point already. By the time class the semester is over, my bet is that you'll feel at home. It's a lovely feeling--and hard to be, as far as I'm concerned anyway.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the "real" entry. :)
