About two months ago I applied for a Ph.D. in Linguistics. While waiting for a response, I decided that if I was accepted into the program, I was going to begin studying Computer Science in my "spare" time. I was really excited about combining my love of language with my passion for technology.
Be that as it may, I was denied admission to the program. Although I was not happy with the outcome, I accepted and embraced the reality of my situation and kept my focus on the future.
Since then, I have dedicated a good deal of time to watching videos, reading articles, running through tutorials, and so on. I also researched the seemingly endless number of options for teaching myself.
After setting up accounts with a number of providers, I decided to invest some significant time and money at EdX.org.
Open EdX in a new window:
Free Online Courses! Advance Your Career. Improve Your Life.
I am currently enrolled in CS50 through HarvardX. It is a free course that provides the option of paying for a certification route. Pending successful completion of the (very in-depth) course, I will thusly earn a certificate of completion from Harvard.
I am excited about where this adventure may lead.
Cheers,
Austin C.

In February of 2018, I was denied admission to a Ph.D. program in Linguistics. As I was navigating the application process, I simultaneously revisited a dormant interest in computer science. In March I enrolled in a certified Computer Science class via HarvardX, which I completed four months later. I am at the beginning of a new phase in my life-long learning process and look forward to that which the future will inevitably deliver.
