I can understand as well as anyone feeling disillusioned by school, and by feeling less than alive. Sometimes we go through highs and lows that we can't and won't understand until much later. And even then, it can take a certain amount of reflection to ever understand what it is that makes us feel truly alive. At least this has been my expeience, yours may differ. In all actuality, I went through a year and half (between being 23 - 24yrs old) where I felt pretty numb to the world, what was going on in my life, and in most of my personal relationships. I didn't really figure out why or what was going on until mauch later. And even further than that, I didn't understand the how and why behind the manner in which I thought things until I found some kind of framework that matched with my mine and better illuminated what I was trying to express. I owe this to existentialist philosophy, believe it or not. This may sound a bit dramatic, I know. But anyway, things will become clear for you at some point -- and you'll go through many
