have you ever felt so low and so dishearted that all you've wanted to do was curl up into a ball and cry? I wish I could just be enveloped in a gigantic hug and be told that everything was alright... and that I'm not stupid... and that I won't fail computer science... and that I'm not incompetent... and that I'm not a failure... mmm... crying in the computer lab would have been pretty pathetic, wouldn't it have been? Yeah, there were people there to help me, but what was I supposed to say? "Hi. I'm stupid and have no idea what I'm doing. Can you write my program for me?" Please.
