I had heard a lot about this class before I even signed up for in the fall, so I was a little wary going in. Now not everything I heard was bad, just the majority of it. I'd heard from some students that this was one of the hardest college classes they've ever taken. Another said that they were more stressed out than at any other point so far in their college years. So needless to say, I was freaking out just a little! Although most people said that the class is hard, they also said that they really learned a lot, not just about the computer aspects but also about managing their time. With all of this in mind, I will admit that I was more than a little afraid of this class. I've always been good in school, so the thought of not being able to do well in a class makes me a tad nauseous. From what I can tell so far, this class won't be anything like any other class I've ever taken, college or high school. Up to this point, most all the classes I've taken have been basics that you barely have to show up for, much less actually put time and effort into. I'm not a big fan of the unknown, so this class definitely made me anxious.

I think that for me the most difficult part of this class will be managing my time and remembering all of the assignments that are due and when. I'm very organized but also a little scatter brained, so it's going to take some discipline. I think the best way for me to take care of this issue is to have a strict schedule of when to do things and writing out every week exactly what needs to be done. This class is going to be challenging, I can already tell, but I can also tell that it will be very good for me. It's going to push me to do more than just enough to get by. I don't really have any questions about this class right now, but I know that if I ever do, that there is an over abundance of resources to help answer those questions.
