 ## Who I am 
 
-Student studying computer science, hoping to learn about low level programming, security, and maybe some compiler/language design topics.
-Generally though I just rice my linux distro, play games, or pretend to study so we'll see how far in get one of those thins.
+Uhhhhh, yea I'm an infosec student at _literally where University_.
+I'm not very fond of academia thus far but I like learning stuff on my own; x86\_64 and ARM are kinda my things right now.
+Security is primarily my focus as it gives me a chance to... uhhhhh... I like breaking stuff(software) and seeing what happens.
+Making stuff is also lots of fun, especially when done the hard way.
 
 ## What/Why this site? huh?
 
-Because I like to journal things, and when it feels like people could be watching my posts it makes me put some effort into it.
+I like journaling things and when it feels like someone could be reading it feels as though I should think about what I say instead of saying ~~spitting truthbombs~~ random things.
 Not only that but it gives me a weird motivation to actually do projects outside of school since I think "_oh i should update the site with a new post or something_".
-As long as I don't take on a project in a really dumb way I usually finish it up to a point where it is somewhat usable or mildy interesting.

 ## Things I enjoy
 
-Not being a literal fern or wooly sock in siberia are pretty nice, typically I just mess about with different things, everything from """""_expert_""""" diy to tinkering with software. 
-Making things is always fun time; until it becomes headache, then I just go off and do something else.
+Not being dead or a fern are probably my top two things I enjoy right ahead of not being a wooly sock in siberia as a third. 
 
+Honestly I like making stuff in software, _but hardware is also cool(just exepensive_).
+CTF challenges are lots of fun as well, but I've yet to document my findings on one as many have weird rules about sharing, and I feel weird about it as well.

+# [In the file](../index.html)
+
+* first draft of this little writing 
+
+## Preamble Note
+Before I go into any detail at all I should mention that in fact this whole post is somewhat of a rant on a pet peeve of mine.
+At the same time I want to discuss why this mostly exists as a problem I have with the """_absolute state_""" of computer science education.
+
+## I'm in the file what now?
+
+I've lost track of how many times this has been thrown my by students learning about the commandline in a \*nix environment. 
+It's not that I loathe this phrasing but, I completely loathe it.
+Something about it feels as though many don't realize that they're not actually saying anything with this phrase.
+It's like going to change your oil and saying, "_alright im in the engine_".
+
+For those trying to learn "the _commandline/terminal_" I have on piece of advice: a directory is a folder.
+To be honest I know this stems from students being taught """_the commandline_""" with literally 0 context given.
+I use a terminal for everything, hell this whole website was built in the termianl but, even I don't know what people mean when they say, "I know the commandline".
+All I know is that they refer to Linux _stuff_ but even then I'm not completely sure what that is supposed to mean.
+
+## The part where I blame academia
+
+How many times has academia managed to fist its way into every crevice of the world with no complaints I'll never know, but I do know it sucks for everyone.
+I say this because for learning theory academia has always been great, structuring that which needed it most.
+For _everything_ outside of that realm, eh.
+
+It seems like at least in CSU Monterey Bay the staff have a hard-on for Unix but have little idea of how to teach it.
+
+### Another section for my prosed solution so its easy find
+
+Stop directly teaching how to use the commandline. 
+Instead setup students in a situation where commandline utilities would be the easiest to setup or the best choice to use.
+
+> B-b-but if we do that they might not do it pro-
+
+_Stop_, they're going to fuck things up regardless, at least this way they'll learn the dumb meme you're targeting but in a practical manner.
+Trust me whatever they end up learning, they _will not_ forget.
+Details sure; everyone forgets details, but at least most students(apart from the stupid ones) will know at least some basic tricks to help them later in (CS) life.
+
+## Pet Peeve
+
+Nearly everytime I help another student with command line _stuff_ I hold back cringe upon hearing the phrase, "_I'm in the file what do i do now????_".
+If anyone can decipher the meaning of this phrase I would love to know but as of right now I'm stumped.
+It reminds of when a mechanic friend of mine told me of how he can't stand hering customers say, "_yea the engine is on the fritz_".
+
+## Filesystems are vry hrd
+
+Recently at my university more and more of the curriculum has been focused on teaching student of the Unix command line environment.
+This entails a few things: 
+
+1. Teach students some basic utility in case they find themselves needing to do some remote work
+2. Exposure to new tools(_more on this point in another section_)
+
+Though the prospect may be enticing its the execution which ruins the whole thing.
+Primarily the problem with teaching unix to students is the lack of context.
+Tools like _Git_, _Bash_, or even an editor like _Nano_ end up being confusing to students for some new arbitrary reason.
+When I say that these things are confusing I mean I've literally had a student ask me, "_What's the point of Git even? I don't get why we're learning this_".
