A Long Time Coming

Student's Log

Star Date 07240.9

I entered 8125 very apprehensive and unsure about what I would learn. I knew I would have an uphill battle to climb as I tried to increase my Geekiness Quotient of 2, but I was open to learn. While the weekly assignments were time intensive, I, nonetheless, increased my baseline level of knowledge.

Before taking this class, I thought IT was a scary world...one that caused me to throw my hands up and run away screaming in the opposite direction. However, over the course of the semester, my comfort level grew in tandem with my level of exposure.

I understand how critical IT is to me achieving my future business goals and objectives. When I start my own venture, I am likely to still hire a CTO (at first anyway), but I have a clearer understanding of their role and the value they will add to my organization.

So, I came (albeit by force)...I saw...I learned...I tinkered (with new technologies), and, most importantly, I conquered my fear of IT (and now have a Geekiness Quotient of at least 5).
