Week 10
The school year is coming to an end and I'll be on my second last week of school by Monday. This class has definitely taught me a lot programming/coding wise and the history of computer programming; however, I don't think that computer programming is for me. This course was definitely educational and stressful but I seem to be doing okay. The tests haven't been too good but the work wise I've done pretty good. In the future I don't know if I'll ever take computer programming again but it was a good experience. This week I didn't make it to the tutorial for the quiz however I can tell as the week advances so does the material. I'm sure by the end I'll be able to say I learned a bunch of things to do with computer science and it has actually stuck with me. Overall this week was fairly light and easy to manage.

Week 9
We're now on week 9 and classes are almost over. Today I just wrote my second test and even with the aid sheet, some of the content to me was challenging. I don't know if it's just because I don't get the material or if I'm missing something completely but as the course is coming to an end I definitely don't find it as easy as the beginning of the year. Although once I get the content it seems so easy and at the same time interesting, when I don't get it, it becomes so frustrating. I'm going to continue to do what I'm doing and ask for help when I need it, but, other than that I'm just going to try my best to follow everything in time for finals. This course can be overwhelming but at this point I'm confident on what I know and understand material/content wise.

Week 7-8
During Week 7 Wiki2 was to be submitted, and I think that once the proposal was done for the Wikipedia assignment everything else was going to be easier. I say that because for me the hardest part was actually finding articles that I was interested in on working on. The fact that I was doing minor tweaks on the pages that I chose to work on, I had to do 3. It's not a big deal, but it might be a little more work; however, others might have chosen go do greater changes than what I've chosen to do so I shouldn't even be complaining. Other than working on my plans for Wikipedia 2, during week 7 not much happened. Although I can definitely say this course is getting hard with the coding that we have to do and understand. Hopefully I can get the hang of it and understand it all by finals.
Week 8 just finished and on the Friday we just had to submit our first Project. The first project was coding that we had to fix for an "Ecosystem" and a "Ball" in DrRacket. At first I'm not going to lie it was brutal trying to figure it all out with my partner, however when we went to the office hours we had a guy come and help us and slowly explain everything to us. While he was explaining it to us, it was kind of funny because it was actually really easy, but my partner and I were so engulfed in completing the project that we didn't even take the time to actually read everything and slowly go through the instruction on what needed to be fixed on the coding. Overall these past 2 weeks have been crazy with trying to understand code and complete assignments. I know that the next month's going to be even more hectic with finals coming up, but hopefully I can stay caught up.
