Time for school!

Well this week I finally started back to college. I used to go to college at Southern State Community College. I loved it there, however, I wrecked my car awhile back and lost my license and was unable to get transportation to and from there. So I had to transfer closer to home where I could get transportation. Now I go to Clark State Community College. It's much different and I have to readjust to college life all over again. Some things I like about this school, some things I don't. I like that I will not only get my degree in computer networking but I will also get my certifications too! I'm very happy about that as Southern State didn't offer that at all! What I don't like is all the time that I had attended Southern State, all the credit hours I put into them won't transfer up here! Very few of my classes and credit hours will transfer and so I have to go here at Clark State almost as long as I would normally, which sucks! Oh well, at least I got back into it and will FINALLY be finishing my degree and can graduate! Nothing can stop me now! Well unless I screw up and stop myself again. But I don't foresee that happening again. My main concern is balancing sleep, school, studying, homework, and everyday life. I don't know what I would do if I had to work!! I can't wait till I can work again but hopefully that won't happen until I'm almost finished with school. I really hope that I can find and get hired on through someone in the area, doing what I am going to school all this time for. Man, I've been going to school for over 3 years already! It's supposed to be a 2 year course! But life got in my way several times, be it my fault or not. Now I have to go almost 2 more years for the same degree! It's only an associates degree at that! Not Bachelors. Sigh...well, all I can do is keep going and see what it brings me. I'm hoping to make it in life finally. Doing what I love to do, working around computers. Maybe one day I can help make a better network connection that we all crave. Data traveling online to and from computers are getting larger and larger. Movies, games, you name it! We need something better than what we have! But we need the network mainframe and computers to handle the traffic. I think game developers such as Microsoft and Sony have the right idea, streaming data while having instant access to it to speed up wait times but there has to be a better way to do these things. I would love to see a day when downloading things are a thing of the past and when you download something or even stream something it would be instantaneous! Maybe one day. Look how far we've come so far! It's not as far fetched as you would believe and people like myself will be working on it to make it better. And I'm doing all this while being deaf. Can't wait till I get cochlear implants! Life will be so much easier!!! Well, till next time bloggers. :)
