Week 3 (Course 2)

My feelings about this whole course? I am really frustrated. I enjoyed the first week so much, but each week, it gets extremely harder and harder and I get easily lost. It is so hard for me to keep up, but I try, I really do.

This week we mostly learnt about repetition and how can we make typing codes less-consuming with that function. There was also a section devoted to flowcharts and what they mean in Processing.js context, which was informative.

As for this week's assignments – there were three. Most of them were about us replicating patterns they shared. Thanks to these patterns we were forced to use repetition function. 

As I said last week, I said I would attempt to finish the last assignment from last week, but I wasn't able to, fully. It was just so hard for me to do. I genuinely tried to create something based on what they told us to do, but frustration got the best of me, so I have decided to move on. I understand the concept a bit better but not fully. Luckily, with this week's content, I was able to do stuff I was supposed to do. So not fully understand las week's section didn't stop me from continuing through this week.

Again, I was getting a little bit lost amongst all the numbers and new functions and variables but I tried my best to understand it. Now when I am looking at it, it is definitely not a course for me, despite them saying it's for everyone. Sometimes in videos, they start off easily and then suddenly give us a lot of new functions out of nowhere without explaining them and it annoys me so much. As hard as it is, I try to follow everything by trying out the functions on my own. Using the codes and practising them and seeing the final result and changes it makes really helps.

The final assignment of this week was to comment on other people's work and I have to say, some of them are real professionals since they were also using codes that were never explained. Made me feel a bit ashamed about my stuff, but whatever. I'm trying here.

It's kind of funny how I went from being excited about this course to struggling and questioning my abilities. I guess they made it on purpose that the first would be easy compared to others.
