The academic exercises are taking over my mind. As I attempt to write my senior thesis, I have realised a couple of things about the way I think:
I cannot think well in words. I think better in terms of diagrams, timelines, details. But not drawing on relatoinships between abstract concepts. It is even more difficult to try to understand these abstract concepts, internalize them and reorganize them in words. Perhaps it would have been easier if I was spoken to or being lectured about these concepts but words in books just do not speak to me.
Secondly, I am thinking how it is that I am pouring in so much of my time to this paper, and if it would even matter. I don't think that doing something (or not doing someting) just because it matters is not a good framework for thinking because it will place us in existentist mode. But I just can;t help but wonder how I am making myself think that this is so important as to disregard other things in my daily life...
