The relatively quick transition from D to A could also result from changes in brain 'wiring'. Freshmen year seems to coincide with puberty and your changed motivation and abilities may(!) stem (partly?) from changes in your brain. You semm to have made the best out of it.
Every change in learning is a change in brainwiring. That term doesn't explain anything.
With wiring I didn't mean the 'normal' means of learning and brain plasticity (some of which doesn't involve any rewiring but 'just' changes of weights and creation of proteins; see e.g. memory consolidation). I meant large scale brain reorganization like the Brain changes at puberty 'help to develop intellectual machinery'.
