When I first entered UC Berkeley, I had intended to major in computer science. I don\\’t remember exactly why…but mostly because I didn\\’t want to be a stereotypical girl. I wanted to be an engineer of some sort, because I had a fondness for math. Yet I started to dislike math after a horrible two semesters in linear algebra and discrete math. Then my first few computer science courses…they were interesting, but I just didn\\’t get most of the concepts. Despite me being only average<\/i> in the major, I applied anyway (all L&S undergraduates enter berkeley undeclared and must apply to a major. computer science is capped meaning only 3.5+ gpa students could get in). \\’Twas rejected.<\/p>\n
But that didn\\’t stop me and I had intended to go for the computer science minor. And here I am in my fourth year in Artificial Intelligence and I am nearly gagging on all the code. It\\’s kind of sad to realize that my four year excursion to computer science is ending. I am not someone built for cs…I only do it when I feel like it. I don\\’t like the complexity of it all. I only like the human-oriented aspect…how to build things for computers.<\/p>\n
Okay, back to the homework that is due in two days. :p<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
