Day 1 of 100 Days of Code
It was a couple of months ago that a family member recommended that I tried coding and after watching a couple of videos and competing lecture and problem set 0 for CS50x, I fell in love.
It has been a bit of a struggle these past few months, I have felt a bit overwhelmed and intimidated. I stopped taking CS50 and tried to go on my own path. I started to learn python because it's what people recommended and overall my learning experience has felt a bit... unstructured. Like yes, I know the syntax of python but I skipped over the basics and now I don't know how to make anything with it.
During october I had kinda been debating on whether or not I should start again with CS50X, but I felt bit intimidated having to learn a new and lower level language, especially after pouring hours and breaking my head trying to understand python.
I don't know who said this or if this was a saying I came up with after reading hundreds of motivational posts but it kinda goes, "If you aren't uncomfortable, then your staginate."
To me learning C feels like a kick in the face, like I wasted all my time learning python just to have to admit defeat and learn, what I could have learned, months ago if I hadn't been so prideful.
But, looking back at the past few months, I haven't made much progress on my own. I'm stagnate. And the more I let my pride get the best of me the more I'm going to fall behind on my goals.
So, I guess after some fighting with myself I decided to continue with CS50x. And for the next 100 days I'm going to be working towards completing it, as well as CS50 Game Development if time permits.
