The Final Blog

First of all I am thankful for the last day of class extension, that's pretty nice. Anyway, what kind of slow change have I taken away from this?

I have learned a lot about class and life. One thing I always known, but never really understood, is the idea of slow change. I knew that nothing worth while came about quickly. But, I guess deep down I had always hoped I would just find myself in the "good" spot. After taking this class, I have learned that iteration is not just for projects, but for life. If I want something, I am going to have to be very intentional about it and work on it. If I don't get it, what went wrong, what do I need to work on, and how can I keep working towards a goal. I think these things will help me to be able to focus and move forward.

One example of a risk I am taking is my summer job. For the first time ever I am getting a technical job. I am afraid I am going to fail, but I am going to do it anyways. Even if I do fail, it will be an opportunity for me to learn, and perhaps I will succeed! Another slow change that I am taking it upon myself to work on is excercise. If my professor can go 14 consecutive days without stopping (congrats), then I should be able to as well. So, hopefully by next fall when you see me, I will be technology confident and muscular as well (I know, they don't normally go together).
