Computer Science AP, Reflection

So far the class has been one of my favorite classes. On A days, I can't wait to get into 5th period and start the latest lab. I really enjoy how you can combine problem solving with your general knowledge of syntax to make a program work. Programming has always been a subject of interest for me. As a kid I would go to the library and pick up huge books on programming. I would try to read and understand them, but I would never really learn anything. It's great to be taught programming, and I am learning very fast and having fun with it.

Recently we have been working on for-loops. Looping makes programming a lot simpler, and lightens the amount of code you have to type to get the machine to do something many times. I usually don't have to study for the quizzes, but for the for-loops quiz, I studied and did well.

I am having trouble remembering what to do in the main of a class. My short-term memory is much better than my long-term memory, and I find myself having to open old labs to use those as templates for my new constructors. I have been having trouble with this for a little while, and it is getting better slowly but surely. I feel like I am becoming a much better programmer every day I practice in class.
