The Programming Bug: Visiting me Monthly!

It's that time on month again: The Programming Bug has hit me again, and now I am thinking about wether or not I could once again try my hand at Programming, and build up another bank of bookmarks on a specific language.
It comes around every so often, usually monthly, and makes me go research a bunch of language's, before deciding on one, downloading the 250MB+ Setup (A Large File for my Slow Broadband that I get 3 days after the start of a month, because my father uses our small 2GB limit in the 3 days...), learning a few basics, before losing the bug, and uninstalling/archiving any information and/or files I've found and made during the week.
It's been going for nearly over a year, where I swear I've installed and uninstalled VB.net/C++ Express atleast 5 times each, C#/XNA twice, and also used Ruby, Python and &#106avascript once for a week or less. I have an entire folder just filled with websites on information, help and tutorials on all of the above, and now its really getting to a stage where it annoys me so much how I have and will waste so much time on something I know will give up in a matter of days...<br>My recent bug wants to try again VB.net or C#. I kinda do want to, with plans for one of the open source engine's I'm looking at for my online game, (I'll explain that latter..) is looking at been rewritten in VB.net, plus the fact in the back of my mind that I will need to decide eventually what I will major in at University, and Programming/Computer Science seems a way for me: Course, I'm only doing Maths A (Maths B is needed as a pre-requisite subject from High School for CS, and I don't want to switch subjects/do a bridging course), and the number of time's of programming, I think I am getting the message that programming isn't for me, for one strange reason or another...<br><br>Sorry if this does seem like a pointless rant on my life as a game developer, struggling to find my place...I just felt I needed to spit it out one day, and its better now rather than latter...<br><br><br>L.R<br>Tay<div> </div>
