C#, or I’ll be flat!
Countdown to my C# class retake is 2 weeks. I have never been more apprehensive. Pretty much this is my gateway into the last several classes for my major. Which is good, until you realize that it is taught VERY fast and I don’t seem to keep up very well. I need I think a C in this to move along, but more directly there is a 3 credit hour class I would have to take in summer that is an advancement of THIS class. It is utterly terrifying. I am not so self depricating to say that I cannot do it. I am honest enough to say I don’t know if I can do it “the way the prof needs it” or “in the time available”.
This one particular course could verywell hold up my entire academic career!
plans: Well I am still needing to speak to someone at Indiana University Southeast, about transferring over or what-have-you.. I don’t know that they will be easier, but I know they are easier to handle (online classes, all of them but 4). Unlike UofL, IUS goes for VB (thats visual basic) as its programatic spearhead. I have actually heard that VB is harder than C#.. or at least more verbose. I have tried C#, and think I have a methodology problem and not a “ability” problem. Having read the book over (and over and over and over) I can find no solution. A professor would help, but last semester I seemed to be in the “I am a professional programmer, but I need this class for my degree” class. I am NOT a programmer. Nor do I really aspire to be. Networking is something I want to focus on as well as maybe some hardware issues and OS troubleshooting. Why? Well really, I CAN program, but I lack the interest to become really good at it.. and lack the pinache of other programmers. I NOTICE this, and freely admit it.
Sidepoint: almost everyone in my program goes into being a programmer.. (sounds bad for me doesn’t it?)
My real idea is to run my own business where I get to help people with day to day issues and build networks for them, etc.. Since I can’t just drop everything and do that I want to look towards a full time job that would pay the bills and have something on the side with all that. (Yes I know building a 800 person network may need more time than my “weekends”) Its just an idea keep in mind. Realistically, I don’t project my annual earnings to ever reach all that high.. It’d be nice, but c’mon… First things first though, I need a degree in a “computer related field”. so its time to C#!
