Journeys in going back to school
I siged up for a 2 year Comunity College program for a degree in IT, which is a field I’ve worked in for going on 6 years now. After reading the horror stories of what remote schooling was like when schools still cared about the pandemic were remote I decided to take some actions.
I setup a virtual machine to do all my classwork in. It has a bridged connection to a usb wifi dongle attatched to a guest wifi network nothing else is on. I made a burner gmail address, I never access the classwork from a personal device. Just data security things. Sure if the software is good enough it could preform a VM Escape but like that's a lot for a monitoring program to do, and if it does fine it wins I'm not a white-hat pwn me daddy
This morning my VM corrupted because I treat my main computer like a science experment and: reap, sow, coseqences of my actions. so I had to rebuild it before I could do my homework. Get it all set back up to log into our LMS to watch a video about 'Why a carrer in IT might be for you' and to click a picture of an ethernet cable and then click the right port on a picture of a motherboard IO panel.
I’m trying to tell myself that these easy classes are going to help me get used to going to school again but every time I have to read the dictonary definition of things I do every day in my job I want to climb out of my own skin.
#and oh my god#writing an intro post on the lms for each class#honnestly I'd prefer silly ice breakers or the in person stuff we had to do a decade ago when I tried school last time
