help.
Now, as some of you know, I have embarked on a new path. I'm taking lessons to become a web developer and it's been a struggle. In fact, this past week I feel like a fish out of water.
What possessed me to start this?! Why am I learning how to code?
Well, to be honest, I love this stuff....... I must if I'm up till 2am trying to debug my project.....yes, 2am....and guess what? After hours and hours of looking for the problem, I found the culprit. The reason my "code" wasn't working was due to a misplaced quotation mark! UGH!!!! Really???!
Anyway, no matter my level of interest and passion for learning all of this, it has been dwarfed by my feeling of total stupidity.
Apparently, not only did my vision go once I hit forty, but my brain as well. I cannot for the life of me retain the information that I've been reading. What once would have taken me minutes to comprehend in my youth, now takes me an hour.
It's so sad.
However, I'm not giving up. I've got a wonderful mentor and a supportive discussion group from taking my course at Thinkful......I will finish the course, ugly web pages and all......well, hopefully not really ugly.
So, bring it on O'mighty tech world.....I will learn to embrace you curly brackets and all.
Have you ever felt lost at what you are attempting to learn? Has your brain turned to mush too?
