As I begin this class, I am finding myself in an unusually busy state. In addition to my responsibilities as a 5th grade teacher and my course load in this class, we are in the process of moving into a new house. The closing is on Thursday, February 4, and we have been packing some each day in preparation. Therefore, I probably have not gotten as far into the course work at this point as others in the class. I realize, however, that there is a lot of material to be learned, so I plan to begin studying and practicing in earnest tomorrow.
Although the examples of coding I have seen so far seem like a foreign language at this point, I don't feel particularly intimidated by what is to come. I am looking forward to the challenge because I actually enjoy organizing and labeling things and trying to crack puzzle codes. I am aware, though, that overconfidence is most times not an asset, so I plan on taking the coursework seriously and devoting the necessary effort needed to master the skills. I'll let you know on the last day of February if I'm still feeling positive or if I'm totally overwhelmed. :-)
