Always felt like the abstraction never quite cut it, felt that it had very narrow applications with boring time-old heuristics to guide you through. The last time I remember having "fun" studying math was when I was reading a book on Banach spaces and conceptualizing scalability (looong time ago, all forgotten now, I'm not sure I can even remember what I read). Also had fun reading papers which were far above my paygrade like model theory, which felt like I was doing something for myself due to the near impossibility of ever applying that knowledge in an academic setting.</blockquote>
