Photoshopping Child Prodigy

You’d think being in a major like Electrical Engineering and having been through Computer Science courses (notice the plural use there) that I would be some technological genius, right? Wrong!

Let me tell you about the computer science classes I took. They were the most stressful things of my life. And with some of the most interesting people I will probably ever meet. I was one of the only girls in a sea of overly excited computer geeks. I’m not kidding, there’s a lot of excitement down in those labs. I would spend about fifteen hours a week down with the programmers. And it was oh so fun. As it turns out, it is a little harder than you would think to learn a coding language and write a computer program weekly without a single error using that coding language you do not really know.

From my numerous computer lab bonding time, I have discovered my secret skill.  I figured out that what I lacked in coding super-geniousness, I pretty much rock at in photoshopping. I took up the skill this summer and figure I probably have a really great career in it someday. I’d say I have some pretty good prospects, even if the whole coding thing doesn’t work out. Not gonna lie, I’m pretty much a Microsoft Paint whiz kid, but I don’t want to brag or anything…
