Tears For Fears – I Know This Much Is True

So about that last blog yesterday. I wrote it around 4 in the afternoon after a day of working on part of my webpage, did I get something acomplished yesterday? Yes, but it was nothing new, and nothing stretching my current abilities. Thanks to DragonsFire for commenting on it. If I went to college I would definately get a lot out of it… I always did well in high school and I genuinely do love to learn, and I am very eager to learn, whether teaching myself or in a school type environment. Because of the compeditiveness of the computer industry a job would require experience … and possibly a college degree (although I know a number of people who are doing well without one). I really don’t have either. Looks like I hit this at the wrong end of the pig cycle %( Anyway, I’ve really tried lately not to be so pessimistic, all through high school I was just miserable, and it’s hard to change that pattern %) So I just get a little worried over something and it’s all *pessimism*.

Anyway %) I’ve had terrible luck lately with online orders. First the stuff with newegg.com, then last week I ordered an mst3k tape from MST3KTapes.com and yesterday got the tape.. the wrong one! I emailed the guy and apparently he mixed up my tape with another order he had, he was really great about it tho, and told me not to worry about sending that one back and he’d make up the correct tape and send it out wednesday.. so in the end I end up with an extra episode (212 Godzilla vs Megalon), so it’s not too terrible %) I should prolly get the correct tape by this weekend. Also the rest of my computer parts should come by Friday
*hopefully* so we can get to work putting new r2 together. I cant wait! It’s so frustrating using such a bare bones system as this is now… I’ll be really happy when I
have a fast fully functional pc again %)

Anyway, instead of making this entry any longer I am gonna go get some work done, for real! *wanders off*

    You know what’s funny?  In your chosen career a degree is generally considered standard and is a big plus on your resume.  In my chosen career people laugh at those of us who get a degree.  I guess the point is I could have just gone on at age 17 and been a working student at some horse farm and worked my way up.  But I actually have learned a ton about horses since I’ve been here, so I’m glad I did it, even if the average horse trainer thinks a college degree is a good waste of four years.  Besides, I’m having a lot of fun here.  I guess it all goes back to whether you think you’d be able to learn useful things in college.  And don’t forget, at a good college they’ll help you find a job after you graduate, so it can’t be a total waste of time.

    Eh, who am I kidding.  I’m probably going to end up living with my parents and working retail in South Portland for most of my mid-twenties.
