I want to show that I'm capable of learning this stuff and I won't let it beat me

Because....

Well guys, at least with all this I know what I need to do in life.

Pretty much everything in my life has been a failure up until now but I'll undo it and fix it. At least I can admit I've failed now lol

For starters, I'm going to the office to get my academic questions answered.

I was under the impression that school wasn't supposed to be fun, right? I think programming is cool but I have to put in that effort lol. There's the discipline thing we were talking about

"Discipline" is fun when you stick to the plan and hit your marks. Your learning will be too when its part of a plan of responsible discipline.

Yup. Crazy how I was doing well and then that program killed me.

I'll fix this and be the perfect dude I was always meant to be

That's Bvllsh!t and you know it!!! Why feed yourself such sh!t???

A child learns to walk..Is every moment before he wins the olympics as an adult a failure, then??????

That's how YOU judge yourself @nicksaiz65

It is NOT possible to be PERFECT @nicksaiz65!!! Expecting that of yourself will only make you crazy and massively unhappy and neurotic!!!

Strive for excellence NOT perfection!!!

Not sure what you are up to here. BEST NOT TO MAKE RASH DECISIONS!!!!

Nothing crazy, I just need an answer for those 4 questions from yesterday

I still just feel like a failure... I should've been doing Game, fvcking bytches and coding since 13-14 but I didnt start until 19. Nothing I can't undo, but it just annoys me. That's why I feel I have to overcompensate so hard with Game Theory

Should have been walking on the moon at 4 and created world peace at 5!

Why do you always feel you need to have a whip at your back???
Do you think it really helps you???
Why do you feel compelled to whip yourself like that???

You can learn anything with time and focus. Anything. Just because you can learn anything doesn't mean you should.
You could learn Chinese. Would you, just to show you are capable? Learn to read all those characters just to prove you won't let it beat you? Would you?

There are a lot of instruments you can choose to play. Why do you choose to play the ones, YOU CHOOSE to play?

LMAO

 

[LiveYourDream]

For the record...lol...I am not trying to tell Nick not to be a CS expert and/or finish his degree. I am advocating he get CRYSTAL CLEAR on why he is doing what he is doing. Once he understands that...is it the path that he is on...the path that MOST SERVES HIM AND HIS HIGHEST GOOD. That's all.

Because I like the sound, repertoire, musical potential, and it seems like a good fit for me

 

[LiveYourDream]

If you saw your advisor, I am sure you covered it. The 31st is this Sunday just FYI.

What makes one instrument a "good fit for you" vs all the others?

 

[nicksaiz65]

What makes one instrument a "good fit for you" vs all the others?

I like the technique/theory behind it, and I like the music you can play on it. Very wide range of application. It's just my style and I couldn't see myself playing anything else

School Update

Guys guys guys guys guys!!!!!!!!

I don't have to take that fvck ass bullsh*t Cal 2 class anymore! I'm done!!!!!!!!

I made a D the first time and it turns out that's all I need to pass and move on. My school updated their curriculum.

I really, truly hope that I don't make a D in Databases. But if I do, I'll still get a credit so I can move on to my Senior Engineering courses.
So I'll make some progress towards my Computer Science degree no matter what.

I went to an advisor today so that I could double check some questions. And this shows that I can still move on.

I know a D isn't good. But I hate Cal 2 with the passion of 1000 suns. A D means I "kinda, sorta" get it. For Cal 2, that's enough. You never ever use that stuff when you're programming anyways.

----------------------------------------------
The Questions I Asked My Advisor

Q1.) Can I take Math 3070 instead of Math 3410? This will enable me to dodge that Calculus 2 prerequisite.

A1.) That's totally fine. Take a look at the updated course plan for Computer Science. That shows you all that you need to know. And it says that taking Math 3070 is totally fine, which does not have a Calculus 2 Prerequisite.

Q2.) If I made a D in a class and then I made a W, is the D wiped from my record? Do I have to take it again?

A2.) All a D does is withdraw you from the class. If you had a D before that, you get to keep the credit.

Q3.) The Syllabus for CSC 2400 says it needs a D or greater in Math 1920. Not a C. This had been changed, is that accurate?

A3.) The department realized several people fail Cal 2 every semester. So we decided to make it so that you only need a D to get into this class. The best way to see the prerequisites is to go to the school Online Registration Website, that is always updated.

Q4.) Do I need a C or greater in CSC 3300 to get into CSC 4610, or just a credit?

A4.) Once again, this has been changed. A D is all you need. You know what they say, D stands for degree. (laughs)

----------------------------------------------------
So with that update, I'm on track to graduate. There's no need for me to take Cal 2 ever again. Fvck that class, I'm free. And no matter what, I'll be making progress towards my CS Degree by passing Databases. Slow and steady progress.
