perspective

[kleenexwoman]

Ironically, college is making me intellectually stagnant. I no longer process any new information, instead going over old ideas ad infinitum until every possible connection and perspective is completely worn to shreds. I don't even read the newspaper anymore because I don't have time in between classes. I am completely and totally uninformed about the world in general. College is putting a layer of insulation between the immature intellectual and social wankery of the campus and the actual real world, where things get done and ideas are born.
I can't even talk anymore. I take notes and absorb things and mentally treat the other person like one of my professors. If I do say anything, it's either reactionary disagreement, a completely irrelevant personal anecdote, or vague reassurance. I'm socially passive and disappointing.

I have no idea how to change this. Is there anyone out there who knew me when I was interesting? Do you remember what I was like?

Well, thanks. :) Of course, it's funny. You're already burning out, and I'm itching to possibly go back to school. Thing is that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up other than a writer, which I'm already doing. Though Jeff's told me that I need to just keep getting the grants and become a professional student. LOL
