January 29, 2001 I must say that I am pretty pathetic...I am a computer engineer, and it is pretty much expected that I can program. Well...I am here to say that I can not freaking program. Ok, maybe that’s a bit drastic because I can program...but my skills aren’t a good as others in my class. I have never heard of C++ programming until I came to college. I took my first programming class my freshman year, and I was pretty much overwhelmed. I was in a honors programming class, and it was full of people who had all taken a programming class before they had gotten to college. I felt like I was alone in my sinking boat. Granted, I got an A in the class...I was still left with very little programming skills. Now that I am in a class that is several levels higher than that freshman year class, I am feeling more overwhelmed than ever. I am given these problem statements, and I have the write header files, and classes....what in the world does that mean?! AHHH!!! It really discourages me because this is one of the major compenents of my major. I mean, I understand that when I actually get a job...I don’t even have to touch programming, but it still makes me feel like a failure. How can I be a computer engineer major and not know how to program?!
