Swamped.....
This week I've had my handsful so far with this assignement. I've been stuck on the first part for a couple of days now and I think I'm almost there with figuring it out. I have no idea when I'll even get time to look at the excersize, hopefully it won't be too hard. On a lighter point, I'm enjoying my programming journey so far. Every class I keep getting blown away at how perfect programming is for lazy people. Its literally like the most amazing thing for people who are too lazy to actually analyze large groups of data. I'm excited to see what I learn in the coming last stretch of the course.

Oh My Where Has The Time Gone
I've been in this course for about a 6-7 weeks so far and I can absolutely say that Ive become a way better programmer. Everything from recursion to tree lists to abstract data types has really opened my eyes to what i can do as a programmer .Object Orientated programming has literally become my best friend. It makes programming so much EASIER and made me ponder and understand that many of the common methods used in python like "str" are actually in fact classes.
Recursion is an amazing way of making a function more visible and easier to prove but on the flip side if you have a large and complex function the call stack might get overwhelmed and even crash or slow down. Thankfully in this course we haven't tackled problems this difficult yet but I do appreciate how recursion simplifies and shortens your code.

First Post
I really don't know where to start with this blog but hopefully I'll figure it out. I'm excited to see and reflect on what I'm going to learn in this course. This course is definitely much different than csc108. In csc108 I felt it was much harder than this course thus far. This course is more about learning skills to apply to programming and taking a code that might be long and complicated and shortening it
