Tutor

I tutored this girl tonight in Semantic Web (she was doing something with HTML and PHP) and I actually kind of helped her. Well, lets just say I either helped her or confused her, depending on if I even showed her how to do something the right way. The point is, she made some progress on her lab (She was doing a madlib and I had to teach her what a noun/adjective/verb was so if anything, at least she now knows that).

It was kind of fun trying to help someone learn something, even though I had no idea what I was doing. I think I got her to understand variables.

I have decided several things:
1. I do not like robotics. Robots are kind of cool, my class seems very laid back, and I guess the topics are interesting, but I'm not fascinated by robots enough to say- Hey! I want to work with Robots in my spare time!
I most definitely don't want to play/work with robots. I see plenty useful applications of robots, but not for me to create.

2. Design of Programming Languages: Everyone in the class is always lost/confused/has no clue.

3. I don't want to go to grad school. I mean, maybe, just maybe I'll go to grad school eventually. However, I'm not going to grad school after college. I was looking at even the simplest programs and aside from the fact that 1- I don't actually WANT to study these things they teach, aside from that, they don't like to take people out of college.

So what am I going to do after college? I don't really know. I'm probably going to work 'somewhere' doing 'something' until I have enough money to buy a little house and work part time, and have a chicken coop and a self-sustaining fruit/vegetable garden year round in some warm part of California.
