I enrolled in the computer-programming course, which also just happened to be the course in which the girl that I had a crush on at the time was enrolled. My love of computers followed me into my military career, short-lived as it was, where I was a data processor. Considering my military record, it might seem ironic that I have invariably had a predilection for logical operations, for lack of a better term. I prefer to do things sequentially and systematically, in an ordered fashion. I mean, call me obsessive-compulsive, but I need to have things a certain way all of the time, and if even one little thing goes wrong, it seems to mess everything up for me.
Computers are very much like that, as well.
They function by executing the commands given to them in a logical, sequential fashion. If just one character is entered incorrectly, it will cause the entire program to malfunction. I have an exceptional ability to pay close attention to details, and am often accused of being a perfectionist. Likewise, a computer is a perfectionist, completely dependent upon the precision of every little detail. In addition to these apparent similarities between the nature of the computer and my own personality, I also have a natural ease with language, or at least with sentence structure and comprehension.
