I quit my teaching job in December. I have been on the computer almost night and day since then, studying, practicing, trying to get better at CSS code, graphic arts, and Dreamweaver. I’m making huge progress.
I have my learning style down to a science. I read, watch videos, and practice. Then I do it all over again. I realize that I do best with some of each, especially the hands on. I’m looking forward to the day when I can do more without having to consult a book or video. I want it all to become second nature.
I have decided one thing, though. No more of these late nights on the computer and staying on for hours at a time. I need to go to bed and get some sleep. I knew I was spending too much time awake when I found myself laboring over a simple CSS hover code. I just kept doing the same thing over and over, like in a dream. I stopped, went to bed, got up the next day, and it all made sense then. Besides, spring is coming, and I want to get outside. I can go back to staying in the house when the sweltering heat returns.
Anyway, if there’s anyone out there who’s trying to learn these web languages too and feels like a newbie, hit me up. We can study together and critique each other’s work.
Nighty nite.
