Finally started CS50

 I finally started CS50 from Harvard and yeah I had been thinking about it for a long time because everyone keeps saying it is one of the best courses but also really hard, so yeah, I kept putting it off, but then I just stopped overthinking and started.

I thought I would be completely lost at the beginning, like they would throw a bunch of confusing code at me and I would not understand anything, but it was actually not like that because they started with Scratch, which looked really simple at first since you are just dragging and dropping blocks.

But when I actually started making something, it was not that easy because things just would not work the way I expected, my character would move weird, sometimes nothing would happen, and sometimes everything would just break and I had no idea why, so I had to actually sit there and think about what I did wrong.

I made my project for the assignment and it was definitely not perfect, I messed up a lot and had to keep fixing things again and again, but when it finally worked I just sat there for a second thinking wait I actually made this, and that felt really good.

I feel like I did not just learn Scratch but I kind of started understanding how coding works, like you really have to think, be patient, and accept that things are going to break and that is normal.

Before this coding felt kind of scary, now it feels like something I can actually get better at if I keep going, even though I am still a beginner.

Next is Week 1 with C and I have heard it gets harder from here, so yeah I am a bit nervous but also kind of excited now because I actually want to see how far I can go.

So yeah I started CS50 and finished Week 0's Lecturre and honestly I am just so happy I even started.
