Its week five and I still haven't caved. Days and nights run together, I don't even know how long I've been in front of this computer... Actually, none of this is true. Even though I was a bit nervous about learning how to hand tag, I have to say so far this has been a truly enjoyable experience, and I genuinely mean that. I feel like this is a life skill that I'm slowly becoming more confident with, and that it will help me have an edge on other applicants when its time for me to apply for a job in my profession.
Coding hasn't been nearly as intimidating as I expected it to be (watch me say this and tomorrow I can't make my file work, or I can't figure out how to add block text) but over all, I have to say there has been no kinks in my system. Its amazing how a new skill can make you feel more confident, like you've just been let in on a secret because that's exactly how I feel. Its as though a new world has been opened up to me, and that is truly fascinating.
How do I feel about IT fluency? I definitely feel more confident, but at the same time, I know there's way more out there than I could ever comprehend. I'm also aware that technology is ever growing and changing, so what I know now might be obsolete ten years from now. If I want to continue this level of IT fluency, I will be an eternal student.
