Where I am with social media

I really enjoy my social media class because I am a big social media fan. I have been active in the social media universe for a long time, but I think this class will make it even better for me. I have been on twitter for a couple of years and that was mainly to follow social trends. I find myself turning on my Ipad first thing in the morning and checking my twitter feed as if it was my newspaper. I think sometimes I get the news faster through my twitter feed. I have also benefited from twitter by meeting my favorite celebrities and scoring awesome concert tickets. I love technology and how it connects people from all over the world. It is always changing and making things better for everyone.

I find myself more social through social media rather then actually socially..I don't know if that is a good thing or not. ha! I know with this social media class it will hopefully help me land a better job and get more exposure to more social media networks. Right now I am trying to start a more professional twitter and starting linkedin which I have never used. It will be interesting to look back when I am done with my class and see how far I came along.

Learning C#

This semester I am taking Intro to object oriented in C# using Visual Studio. I came into class knowing nothing about programming or C# I am a complete n00B coming in.  I am about a month into my class and have still struggled over and over again. I have tried not to feel discouraged and have been keeping a positive attitude as much as possible, but it has been a rough short road. I have asked for help, I have been tutored a little bit, and talked to classmates. My teacher seemed to give up on me and suggested that maybe this wasn't for me. I was discouraged after I spoke especially when he pegged me as unorganized (I'm not) I felt hopeless. I have been studying and trying to figure things out on my own with trial and error. I finally wrote my second program with a little help from examples, but I learned a lot. I'm not going to give up that is for sure no matter what anyone tells me! I will try to blog more about my troublesome times in C#, but I hope it comes along easier!
