When I read this blog post I immediately understood what you were talking about. I remember mindbooking at your house and feeling so lost and having to really search for ideas, wheras now, they just come to me because they are things that I am already thinking about. Having pressing issues that are already mind makes it so much easier to do things like mindbook and come up with ideas for essay topics. I also find it challenging to express what I'm thinking through words at times but sometimes it is easy to express ones thoughts through another medium like creating something where you don't necessarily use words. I'm glad that your way of thinking has changed for the better!
The second blog that I commented on was Jack's. His was all about how he has changed his study habits from freshman to sophomore year. I really connected with his blog because I also went through the same academic shift. It used to be that I just went to school because I didn't think I had any other options, and now I go to school to learn and to engage in the academics because it actually interests me.
I really enjoyed reading this blog entry, and I feel like I could really relate to what you were talking about. Just yesterday I was talking to a friend about how I wish I would have been more into school freshman and sophomore year. LIke you, I pretty much only did homework for the grade, not to truly learn the material. Looking back I wish I would have done homework to truly get something out of it instead of just making up answers to get it done. However, it's not possible to go back in time and re-do what was done, so I'm glad that you and I both had that homework/school a-ha moment so we can learn and succeed in the future!
