» Computer Class
By China at 11:02 AM
I hate computers. Well, I guess I don't hate them because I use one about three hundred times a day (I wish I was exaggerating but I don't think that I am) but I am extremely bad with them. The other day my computer wouldn't work so I took it into the school's techtime place and they fixed it in about 3 seconds and I felt so embarrassed that I had no idea what was wrong with it and I had to drag it all of the way there.
So needless to say, when I found out that we had to take a certain number of computer classes during our college career to graduate (no matter what your major was) I wasn't too thrilled about it. The first one I took was sophomore year and it was a general computer science class. We learned about Microsoft word and making presentations and how to do stuff in excel (which actually really helped me out with a lot of the projects that I was doing).
The second class I took the next semester was more of a media class and it was really interesting but also hard for me. We set up video conferencing and learned what multipoint video was. It was a really fun class because we got to go online and call people and talk to them for most of the period, but it was also a hard class to get a grade in because it was way more subjective than other classes are. And I am pretty sure the teacher had a good grasp on my hatred for all of technology.
So this next semester I will be taking my last computer class and I couldn't be more thrilled. Even though I honestly think that these classes were really beneficial to me and will be good for my future (and have been for classes in the past) I just hate that I feel like I am behind other students. Some of the kids in the class are just taking them for fun and are computer junkies and I feel like I know nothing compared to the, but I guess we'll see. The next class is a combination of science stats and computers and my major is science so maybe, just maybe I will be a little bit better at this class than I was at the other ones. Probably not though.
