While I was MIA from Gay Authors (Stupid life events getting in the way) I took a lot of technology classes offered by Microsoft and CompTIA to keep myself up to date on current technology and what not. Because of this I ended up changing my college major from a BS in Information Technology heavy in the security field to a B.S.Ed Career and Technical Education/Business, Computer, and Information Technology Education Program (Long winded title for Information Technology Teacher). I'm still attending Community College primarily to get my core courses out of the way and doing a transfer to Temple University. Well that's the program I'm in but could change depending on what other colleges are offering with a program like that (my academic advisor recommended that particular program). To sum it up at age 29, I finally know what I'm going to do in life and complete this goal, become a professional student and then a Computer Science teacher.

The prospect of going through this program and becoming a teacher is very exciting but at the same time, very nerve wracking. I know I'm getting practice by teaching basic computer use workshops but still the idea of working full time as a teacher in a Primary or Secondary school is very harrowing. I know it's something that i want to do but at the same time I wonder if I can do it. I guess time will tell and I hope it tells me that it's what I am meant to do (As the saying goes, If you enjoy your job you never work a day in your life).

On a final note, the main reason I was MIA for a bit from here was mainly because I was going through physical therapy for my back due to an injury I got. It got to the point that I could barely move or bend without serious pain affecting my back and knocking me through a loop, Two CAT scans, and most recently an MRI, later I was referred to a Pain Management Clinic run by Penn Medicine and now am going through more treatment for my back. As it turns out the injury I had that caused discs in my back to get screwed up and also land me with two cysts in my inner spinal column that are pressing on the messed up discs. This time around I'm getting steroid shots in my back and doing intensive aqua physical therapy in the hopes that we can fix my back without getting invasive since the next step would be back surgery to correct the problem.

Wow. This turned out to be a long blog... but hey Caver Lector (Latin phrase for reader beware haha)
