new life trajectory
In two days I am going to start taking a very intense computer programming class, specifically in the IBM-i operating system and the Report Prompt Generator programming language. The textbook is much thicker and more dense than my old uni textbooks, and the class is half the length of a university semester. I had a meeting with the guy that runs the school and he said each class tries to cover two university semesters worth of content. The IBM-i class is 8 weeks and the RPG class is 10 weeks. The textbook, it is very thick, and very dense. It wastes no time. So it is twice as much ground covered in half the number of weeks. I am extremely nervous about this class. I'm worried I won't be able to keep up and I'll fall behind.
