title: How do I get my brain moving in "lisp mode?"
body: <p>My professor told us that we could choose a programming language for our next programming assignment.  I've been meaning to try out a functional language, so I figured I'd try out clojure.  The problem is that I understand the syntax and understand the basic concepts, but I'm having problems getting everything to "click" in my head.  Does anyone have any advice?  Or am I maybe picking the wrong language to start functional programming with?</p>
