There was something I wanted to talk about, but I got distracted for a second and now I forgot it. How troublesome.
Whatever. I'm on a break right now, lectures will resume in about 15 minutes. I always find it fascinating how many successive, small steps towards becoming something seem insignificant in the moment, and one day you find that they built you into something else entirely.
It didn't happen to me yet though, let's say it's a prediction.
I understand if you're confused about what i'm talking about, so let me explain myself: I am currently a university student, and yet in principle I am no different from my highschool days. The subject I'm learning in university are at first an extension of what I already studied at school, and so we slowly progress from what has already been built. Then, from there on we progress a little bit every time, learning a few little things that are easy to understand, because of the foundation we've been making. You see, that's where the trick is: the things we're learning seem easy, and that's because of what I mentionned earlier.
Because of that, I get the feeling that this is something anyone could do (and anyone could, with the proper background), so I don't really feel like I'm becoming more of an IT specialist every day. And yet, one day I'll wake up, having finished my studies, and I'll find that I'm ready to enter a field that only a few can enter. Truly, specialization is a fascinating process. Same goes for basically all other study -> work processes of course.
Hmm, species in evolution underwent the same process huh? That's what natural selection is after all. Doesn't seem like I'll have much time to talk about that though, lecture's resuming. Well then, see ya
