Just keep swimming

Been a long time since I got a chance to post. I I’ve just been really busy these last few days. Studying for the GRE (love you, math, but I’m so terrible at you), getting ready for iD Tech (cannot wait!) and trying to do some big things at work.

It’s been tiring. Kinda fun. But certainly tiring. I’ve been doing more “advanced” things lately at work, like custom coding scripts in Excel and stuff like that. Trying to do as much problem solving as I can, trying to become as comfortable as I can with the idea of coding a solution. Being able to think through a problem and find a way to solve it.

After all, if I want to go back to school, get my Masters in Computer Science and work for Apple, I need to get my but in gear. I need as much practice as I can get.

Computer science doesn’t come naturally for me. But I love it. Much like math. So I’m going to keep at it. I’m going to get this degree. Hopefully I live through the process. :-).

Keep the faith, y’all (I mean in yourselves…though if you want to keep the faith in me, that’s fine too) :-)

To Dream the Impossible

A poem that popped into my head this morning on the bus - I had to write it down. I am inspired like this so very little these days. I call it To Dream the Impossible.


Opening your heart halfway
For that which cannot be.
How silly it seems
To dream of things 
Whose sheen does but deceive. 
But logic matters little to the heart
When it believes. 
 

Some days…

The path to my dream of working at Apple seems so, SO far away :-(.

How weird it would be…

Anyone else have those strange delusions of grandeur? I know I do :-) I wonder what would happen if I suddenly find my place and calling? What will happen when I find that one thing that I’m so in love with doing that I will do it until I transform the world ?

Performing. Software development. Kids. Science. I’m almost there. I’m going to figure it out. I just don’t know how long it’s going to take. :-)
