Six years in the wilderness
Well, folks, this is it.
In 2002, after getting two thirds of the way through a degree in Computer Science with a specialisation in Mathematics, I transferred to an Arts degree, hoping to major in Philosophy. Then I had a brain haemorrhage and it all went to hell…
Yesterday I sent in an application form to the university to apply for a transfer back to Computer Science, this time majoring in Web and Networks. The prodigal son is returning.
Why did I initially switch to Arts? I’ll be frank: I was young and stupid and taken with the romance of a purely intellectual pursuit. But the truth is that romance is a thing for teenagers and poets, not for those who want to succeed in life.
Life is what you make of it. I’m ready to create my own success.
