They won’t stop chasing me.
I keep on trying to run away from Math and the web, but I underestimated their speed and they eventually caught up to me.
Finding the derivative of a natural logarithm is equally as confusing and foreign to me as HTML. I figured being a journalist I would just write, and that’s it.
I was wrong.
Journalists are being required more and more to interact with the web as part of their job, and that is a very daunting fact. Math is hard, but HTML is a completely new language. I thought that speaking English and being able to hold my own in Spanish were more than enough to fill my language quota, but once again I was wrong.
Now, I have to learn this technological language that is incredibly intimidating. I tried to look at HTML with an open mind but the minute it popped up onto the screen and I saw all these symbols and random letters that seemed to have no purpose, I came to the conclusion that I don’t speak HTML.
I feel like a kid again at home where my mom only spoke Spanish to me so I would learn it, but instead I am sitting at home staring at my screen carefully reading the assignment instructions so I can learn HTML or at least get an A on the assignment.
Web skills and math won, because I have no other option than to give in and learn.
