Recently, I've discovered...

...that it is harder for me to communicate with people outside my faculty with regards to whatever I am learning. (what a mouthful of words). I go around spouting nonsensical jargon about the awesome things and super-awesome friends I have discovered in uni and my poor dad stares at me blankly.

I'm not being an elitist making feeble attempts to shun the people around me. I just get so caught up with whatever I'm studying right now. Besides that, hanging around people who are learning the exact same things as you, hence picking up the exact same lingo, further discourages the use of layman terms regarding our subjects. Sitting around, conversing with people about the subject, absorbing information and using it so that it gets further ingrained in my mind; this is a situation that invariably causes me to start talking about gcc and linux and bios and while loops even outside of my learning environment. Things that people who are not interested in coding may not understand anything about. And I gush on about it like a waterfall because it's just all so insane in my blown mind.

Most days, I do try to talk about everything so that other people may understand me. Being the person I am, the only real way to do that is to avoid talking about my course at all costs. When I am passionate about something, I do end up losing all reason, and that includes talking about things that I've learnt as well as the insufferable compiling errors that I keeping getting (must remember to always identify variables and try not to get too excited when my simple program works).

However, the best upside about my course is that we have one heck of a tight community within the faculty. It's the first time I've seen so many nice computer nerds congregated in one place! Uni really is full of awesome people. =D
