Feeling like an idiot a good thing?

Okay, so I just got out of class this morning, and the whole time we were in there I felt completely retarded. It feels like I knew absolutely nothing about our subject today. Everything was brand new to my brain as soon as it left the teachers mouth, or was written on the board, or we saw in a screening. Any questions she asked, no one in the class had any answer to, so at least I wasn't alone. But after I got done, I felt like I had absorbed so much information in just those 3 hours, that I'm amazed at how in the world it's possible that I hadn't accumulated even that much knowledge in all the years of life and schooling prior to today. I feel guilty for not exposing myself to any of this knowledge, and also angry that no one else had the time or effort to do talk about or teach me any of this (at home, in high school, or grade school even).

Yet, I feel so completely satisfied and happy after getting out of a class where I felt like a complete moron the entire time. It's so strange, but that's the power of learning I guess. I absolutely LOVE this class. And (to sound like a dork) I really love to learn. Blame it on the fact that I'm a teacher's kid.
