Today I started my real major. Like for reals. I am now an official Information Systems student and I have the bag to prove it.
We already have homework, which is to be expected. The Junior Core is notoriously hard.
Here’s what I learned.
-Systems Analysis is understanding and specifying what a system should accomplish. I thought analysis was just trouble shooting but it is much more.
-System Boundary is the separation between the system and its environment that inputs and outputs need to cross.
I can’t help it. When I think of systems I think of the cartoon Reboot that I used to watch with it’s boundaries, and inputs and outputs and users.

One thing that also stood out to me is that back in the old days, ever business needed a sales guy. You have to sell things to make money and survive. Now, every business needs an Information Systems guy. You can’t survive now without a website, internal web apps, systems and automation. Everyone else has them, you need to use them or get left behind.
All in all, I am excited to be jumping into my real major.
Are you serious!? Yes we need to catch up. Tomorrow I have more class stuff and stuff. Major cuts sound bad.
