Things are going better than I thought!

The programming module is becoming more challenging as the weeks go past. Last week I was unable to complete one section, and I'm fairly sure I had information missing from one of the other questions. This week's assignment is about five pages long--for the questions alone!--and is even more difficult, but difficult in a good way. Programming is something I inherently understand due to years of dabbling; all I'm finding hard is the new concepts and syntax that come with Java.

However, I am definitely doing well. I got the marks back for the Week 3 coursework (two weeks ago) ... and I got 100%! That's the first time I've got 100% for anything in years. Probably since the early days of my GCSEs.

The good thing is that a certain number of my best pieces of coursework contribute towards my final semester grade, and the less good ones are discarded. So, even if I didn't do as well last week, I still have one *perfect* assignment under my belt.

100%! Suddenly the course as a whole doesn't seem quite so unrealistic anymore. I can do this!
