Six Flags…Whaaaaa?!

Filed under Uncategorized //

So two weeks ago we went to Six Flags – my friend Lauren, Tamara, and my brother all went down to St. Louis to the Six Flags down there…

Wait, two weeks ago?!

Yes, my friends – it has been awhile since I have last updated – and for that I am sorry. I have just been busy with work and such things, I have not had time to update really. Sorry about that!

So work has been going a lot better. In the beginning I wasn’t sure if this was what I really wanted to do, I mean I knew this was for my major but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do all of the learning…again. The PHP language is difficult to use with Fusebox, a program we use. It was hard to get started and it was hard to understand.

And I just wasn’t getting it.

After about a week though, I felt like I did when I was learning Java. Basically diving into a black hole of no return, spiraling out of control – and ready to back out – to end, and to move on to something easier. Like going back to the Tech Team – back to fixing e-mail, printer, fax, computer, hardware, software, network, etc. problems.

However, after a few weeks in this new job – something must have clicked. I really did want to learn. If I didn’t, then I would have quit this job already and gone to someplace like Best Buy – a different black hole. ;-)

Now I feel very happy for my new job – maybe a new day has dawned but I want to learn more than ever. Dean just ordered some PHP books and I want to go through the tutorials already.

This is my Internship that is counting towards my degree – why not make the most of it?
