Taking a network fundamentals class right now and the last part of the module was network security, which I thought would be interesting. I couldn't focus on it at all. It's weird when you realize that something you thought would be cool can't hold your focus.

It's one of those things that sounds cool and fun, then you realize it's mostly just paper work and reading logs.

I generally blame the instructors when that happens. I've taken classes on the most menial subjects that were great because the instructor was great. Almost anything can be enjoyable to learn if you have the right teacher.

I enjoyed all the other stuff in the module and he did fine. Extra points for being online learning and being able to speed up the lecture to keep my ADHD happy. Just that one was pretty bluh.

It's probably more fun when you're at school, shutting the teacher's computer down.
