Winding up the week
This week (well, the last month or two) has been crazy in a lot of ways. Most people would probably say it’s because I have a lot of things going at once, and that’s partially true. I don’t mind being busy at all - in fact, I enjoy it - but I hate doing lots of work for something that I don’t enjoy doing.
So my changeover from computer science to new media is complete, short of finishing my classes this and next semester. I’ve shifted dramatically from a technical to a creative slant on life, and though I love doing some very high-level programming, it mostly focuses on design and the display of data. Work for computer science this semester seems tougher than usual, and I think it’s because it’s hard for me to get out of the new media mindset. Most of the stuff I’m doing is based heavily in that.
Add that all to the fact that I really, really want to get away from computers as much as I can. I want to spend some time away from them, but a lot of my work - especially CS - involves them. Most of my other projects involve some amount of design that can be planned on paper and followed by a minimal amount of actual programming. I’m sick of staring at a screen to complete an entire project, and I feel that’s what I’d get if I majored in CS.
Today’s a weird day, too; I had a CS presentation this morning, but now it just gets better from now on. I have psych now and then English, both classes I really like. From there I head to Ayers for a meeting, and then I’m off to see Paranoid Social Club (for free!) tonight. After all that, it’s officially the weekend. Ahhh, sleep.
