Programming is an emotional rollercoaster

Sometimes I like to have a chat to my beautiful single friend in Sydney about all her dating drama's.  I love getting caught up in the emotion she portrays and the way she tells the stories...Waiting to hear about the flashing incident on Australia Day for a good old laugh.  Anyway I don't think I need her emotional fix anymore after last night... I had university last night and the unit is Introduction to Programming.  Oh my god talk about hard. For me the world pretty much runs in black and white and I need things to be logical to understand them.  I am even pretty good with the airy fairy stuff that is management (you know all the feel good stuff that you have to do as manager to keep your staff happy).  This I can do its easy peasy but programming... Last night I learnt how to code a mathamatical formula with more than one equation to it. It took me a while to get it to work but when I did the elation I felt was unbelievable.  You know that feeling of achievement you get when you finally nail something? And then the rollercoaster came crashing down again as I attempted to do another formula, this time for joining text together from different places over the program. I know it sounds relatively simple when you think about what I am trying to get the program to do, but to the language and all the symbols and spaces and stuff have to be in the exact right place otherwise the program thinks your doing something different.  God its hard. I have decided that I no longer need to live vicariously through my friend to get an emotional rollercoaster, I will just do my uni homework instead!
