Going into a six-hour course can be a bit daunting – to say the least. I kept imagining sitting in a classroom “listening” to lectures, contemplating the cruelty of time and the oh so slow tick of the clock hand. It was inevitable – I was destined to 18 months of abject boredom.
Unlike most times in my life, I am happy to say I was completely and totally wrong. The three professors teaching the course have developed an enjoyable, comfortable, and thoroughly compelling atmosphere. Switching between the three topics involved in the curriculum (web design and development, soft skills, and computer skills) keeps my mind engaged – I get to learn about a variety of subjects and participate in different activities.
As for content, I find all of the subjects to be of value; they will help me in any career I choose to pursue. Right now, I find our study of WordPress to be quite interesting. I love designing my class blog and learning about the ins and outs of the platform. I could (and did) spend a solid hour just looking through the different themes.
I hope the rest of the 18 months is as great as these last two weeks. I am looking forward to working with real clients and gaining work experience. It is hard to see now, but I am excited to become the person with the skills to work with those clients and achieve my goals.
Until next time,
Savannah
