I'm graduating college this week and I totally feel this. I was a major in wildlife ecology and conservation and school sapped any interest I had in learning about that subject. Professers acted weirded out and offended when I asked if I could help them with research or wanted to talk to them more about their fields. It's really sad that these interactions defined what was most of my college education. Since I have more time on my hands, it feels good to write again and explore science without dealing with classes that never taught me anything. I hope you are enjoying learning and out of the system.
