The Never Ending Term

All of my terms are 6 months long. It's both too short and too long.

Too short in that I am attempting to learn a great deal of information in a relatively short time. I'm attempting to not to be a subject expert but subject knowledgeable. For some of the classes that's easy. For some it's not. I could have chosen a different program. One that I had more experience in.

That would have been the easy way. I've never liked doing things the easy way.  Not doing them cause they're hard? That I'm an expert in, but this time I decided things were going to be different.

Too long in that I tend to think "I have six months to get this done. I don't have to study right now." The correct answer is, yes, yes I do. It's a process. I'm still working on it.

This term however feels exceptionally long to me. Probably cause I was studying networks when it began and I'm still working on them, though I've focused more on databases the last couple of weeks.

I'm nearly done with the reading for my database class. I'll be glad to put it behind me. There is A LOT of vocabulary. And while it's an interesting subject when you realize how much the world relies on databases, it's also kind of scary. And frankly, I'm thinking, I don't want to know.

Well, I'm off to finish the reading I promised my mentor I'd get done today.

Have a great week and do something to stimulate your mind!
