Finding your Groove/Major!

The decision has been made as I find myself in my final major of choice. The major being Computer Information System.Only thing left to follow my heart and mind, will be filling out the papers! This decision became final as I completed both sections of programming fundamentals this fall! Woo-hoo!

I went through a laundry list of majors but only changed my major officially 2 times.The transition  truly just being from Business(Accounting) to Computer Information System. I was lucky enough to not LOSE ANY CREDITS! or take many(only one) extra course not needed to complete my degree. I will only be semester behind(if I don't take summer classes).

Changing my major didn't allow to escape from  business classes. I still have to take a few of them for my minor(minor I choose because it was easy and I had more than half the credits needed).This spring, I will be taking two management classes! which i'm only partially excited because one of them is online and that just sounds awesome at this point. 

It has taking me a bit to get where I am. I wouldn't change the experiences and friends I made while in business. I made an easy transition from high school and college, because I was apart of the Student Learning Community. I did decently in my business classes and was challenged only in accounting. Right now, everything is a challenging, learning new languages and the proper ways to think. What the fun in doing something that your good at if it isn't difficult?

Alas, the semester is at it's demise, I seem to be passing all my classes and procrastination is just nipping at my heels. Overall, this is first semester I feel content with my major and ready to continue on!

I won!

This past week has been really awesome. The main reason being it was my 21st birthday, but another really cool reason is this little guy.
Ironically, this little guy's kind of a big deal. After receiving word I was nominated for an award, I attended the UT Tyler Computer Science and Engineering honors banquet on Tuesday. Not knowing what to expect I went hoping to win but if not, then at least enjoying a good meal with friends.

Upon the event finally reaching the Computer Information Systems department, my heart began to beat a bit faster as I listened earnestly. Next thing you know my name is announced for the outstanding junior award and everyone around me is excited. A certificate and a plaque later and I'm the happiest guy in the room. Yea, a pretty big deal after all.
