a third language
Should it be cumpulsory that students learn a third language? ...English, a foreign language AND a computer language? I should think it would have done me a great deal of good, having a better handle on logic and the way of the machine at this very moment. I’m certain one’s disposition greatly determines the desire and ability to learn a certain thing rather than another.
Sometimes I feel like I’ve just been hit with a baseball bat and have barely any sense of what is going on about me. Is this common place when using Perl and installing various software and modules? So many things seem out of reach or simply out of my control. I curse the darkness, though it is quite peaceful when I close my eyes. Logic is painful and my general course is normally guided by serendipity. Why am I always being pushed under by the tide rather than floating along or riding the liquid vertices? I feel like my toolbox has only a vicegrips and a ballpeen hammer remaining. Do I give up or just find unique and continuous ways to apply myself? I suppose “stubborn” is my duct tape and bailing wire. Time thunders past me.
