Some days I'm pretty sure I'll never get down the intricacies of PHP or Javascript, and other days it makes a little more sense. One of these days I'm hoping some kind of switch is going to click inside my head and I'll finally grasp what exactly I'm supposed to be doing without looking it up seven times at each step along the road.
I think what frustrates me the most is when I can identify that I have a problem, perhaps even narrow the problem down to a specific portion of code, but then no matter how many things I switch around, double-check, or re-work it just refuses to work. If I can figure things out the right way the first time, I'm good to go, but unfortunately that rarely, if ever, happens to me.
The biggest problem I have right now is the worry that I'll get a job doing this type of stuff, and then show up the first day and not be able to keep up, do things properly, or even know what is going on. That is a scary concept to be worried about with just over 12 months to go before school is finished.
