So we have just finished our first course in Programming (C#). I keep hearing it's one of the easier languages to learn. If that's so, I'm very lucky we didn't start with a difficult one because I'd still be under my bed crying and using mustard and ketchup bottles to make nice curly brackets on my new white canvas coat with the extra long arms while singing show-tunes through my Hannibal Lector Mask (yeah I said "still"). But I'm feeling much better now.
I may be able to attribute the awkward transition from the design side of the program to the coding side on the fact I haven't spent much time using that side of my brain recently. I wasn't going to tell anyone but during Fridays exam I was sure I smelt smoke. I'm not sure if dead brain cells can burn, but I went to the washroom and poured water in my ear, "better safe than sorry" my therapist always says, just before he says "I'm not your therapist get out of my house before I call the police, and put some pants on".
Don't get me wrong I'm looking forward to being able to program, it's just the learning curve sometimes looks more like a hair pin turn. I'm certain I will become more comfortable as I gain experience and continue to build on this foundation I have started.
Looking forward to Data Bases now. How hard could that be? But if I don't show up for class any day this week, you'll know where to find me.
Martin!
ReplyDeleteAre you still under your bed crying?
OR
With your supposed therapist - cause hun you need to get your pants on!
We're all waiting for you in the land of Data Base Design --- awww that lovely word.... design = happy times.
Cheers!!
Martin this post was too funny. I can't believe I just read it! I was laughing for most of the post. You did great on this course, I really don't know what you are complaining about. I, on the other hand, was feeling like you for a good reason. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT (STILL DON'T). I am, like you, hoping that if I read a bit more, and practice this will somehow hit me in the head and finally get the concepts.
