My GPA is 3.796 - boo yeah. I busted my ass to get this far, and I think I succeeded largely in part to returning to a classroom vs. doing it all online.
In all honesty, I loved doing classes online - it was easy, convenient, and when I was suffering from insomnia, I could read up on classes, do homework and submit it - everything was presented.
Once my son was born, priorities shifted. First child, loving wife, school - guess who lost on the new arrangement? That’s right - school faltered, it got difficult to keep up and stay on schedule. My “dedicated” time was getting split because I had new fatherly duties that overrode the school duties (and rightfully so!). So after talking about it with a few people, I came to the conclusion I needed to attend class on campus- at least for a quarter.
The result show - nearly a 4.0. I still had homework, but often I could accomplish a lot “in class.” This coming quarter, I’ve decided to take one class online - to see how well I can leverage it, as well as my start of a new organizational procedure (lists, Getting Things Done, you know…). After next quarter I may bump it to two classes online.
In the meantime, I’ve filled up my time with writing - announcing a couple new ventures here soon, as I also continue to try to grow and expand my writing (and weigh-in on where I should be posting items, integrating them with twitter and other types of items…) Basically, I’ve got an increasingly growing list of side-projects while I work towards wrapping up a degree and trying to still be a great father, husband and worker.
I’ve written online for many years, ever since the days of dial-up and a few old BBSes. Recently, I started thinking about the kind of impression one leaves on the internet - often anonymous, often random. This is my attempt to create my digital impression on the web on who I am - as a thinker, as a coder, as a person.
<strong>This is my digital life.</strong> I want something to be around long after I’m gone, and with the way the ‘net changes there’s a chance it’ll outlive us all. So if you’re reading this, here’s to new beginnings, and memories that never fade.
