I finished my fall semester last week. I was going to take a class over the winter but I think I need some time to figure some stuff out. I want to change my major to something more computer related. I’m a little bit of a geek. I’m not a computer software expert by any means but I like learning about them. And I took a couple classes on graphic design and webpages back when I first when to college. I taught myself a lot of stuff as well such as more html beyond what I learned in school and some CSS. And that takes patience. At first when I learned html in school, I thought I would never want to do it after the class was over because of how tedious it was. But after a while, I got used to it and wanted to learn more and didn’t find it painful to do. <\/p>\n
So I’m thinking that if I learn stuff on my own as a hobby anyway, maybe I should learn other computer related things. I need to challenge myself. Oh yeah, and then why not do it as a career and make money from it? <\/p>\n
I’m thinking about getting a degree in something in the Information Technology program. I think I want to do database. But I’m not 100% sure. So I’ve been taking a lot of my free time into learning as much as I can now about database to make sure this is something I want to do. I think it is. But I just need to get over the tedious\/this sucks part of it to have fun with it – the same way when I was first learning how to make a basic webpage. And I get all paranoid when I’m about to make a decision so I always have to over-investigate it to convince myself I’m doing the right thing – even when it’s something as stupid as just buying a $50 cell phone.<\/p>\n
I thought that when the semester was over I’d have all this time to do whatever I wanted and spend more time on music but now I feel like I have even less time. Because I want to make sure I’m doing the right thing and figure it out soon so I can sign up for Spring classes.<\/p>\n
And yes, I am aware of the fact that if I do database for a corporation, this means I’m probably not going to do it on the mac operating system. It’s not the end of the world, people. I can handle it. Plus, a lot of the government positions use Linux anyway. \ud83d\ude1b I can still use my mac at home and I do have XP installed on it as well as Leopard so yes, I can also learn those programs at home as well as in school. I use Windoze at my job now anyway. Every office job I’ve had was on a PC except one (which was working tech support for Apple, haha). So I’m not going to fall in a hole by learning this. Some people have been acting like I couldn’t handle that and that it’d be like working for a company that only speaks French or something. People are so overdramatic sometimes!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I finished my fall semester last week.
