Another Beginning...

Critical thinking is one of the most confusing things about me. I over analyze everything that I do and everything that happens around me. Sometimes it can be very useful because I will think of ideas or solutions that would not normal be considered, yet at sometimes it seems to be inconvenient cause I find myself taking to much to or putting to much effort into analyze things. Reading if one of my favorite things to do I can find myself reading books all night only to realize that I have lost all of my time to sleep. I do have to say it is almost impossible for me to reread a book, this is because I analyze it so much the first time through that when I go back and try to read it again I find myself you could say predicting the future or what will happen, this frustrates myself so I just find new things to read.
Politics, media, math, science, and just about everything I do are analyzed to an extreme. One thing I enjoy is watching debates or speeches and just trying to prove points wrong or right, or trying to see different points and why they are or are not reasonable. Even if I am driving I over analyze things, for example a story of mine dealing with the new Toyota recalls, I was driving with my grandfather to Phoenix one night and all the thoughts crossing through my mind were what do I do if the car gets stuck full throttle, what do I do if we blow a tire. These are things I deal with everyday, I used to think that I was just to cautious but now I realize that I just am trying to understand everything, and learn what I could do to change it, or benefit from it.
I am really hoping that I can use these analyzing abilities for better use to my English skills. I have never had English as a strong subject for me, and have never really been able to pin point a reason as to why it seems to be such a struggle for me. I am hoping that soon I will be able to have a better understanding for what writing skills I need to improve on and which ones I need to leave alone. I know that one of my weak points is understand research and interpreting it into my own words and thoughts. I am hoping this will be my last English class because I am engineering major, or possible Culinary Arts, so I would like to make sure I learn as much as possible form this class cause it may very well be the last time I take English.
Well hoping for good things to come from this class, and good luck to everyone else. I am really excited to see what I can do with my new look towards an English class then every time before.
