Dateline 9-20-2016

Another day and I'm still not done with my assignment. Again, it's a self-paced course so there's no real due date, and I'm also still close to a month ahead of the suggested pace so I'm not all that concerned about how long it's taking. In fact, I'm not all that concerned at all. 

The fact that I'm taking so long has nothing to do with procrastination. Other than taking a weekend off, I've been working on this app for a little over a week. It's just taking longer than I thought because I'm not experienced enough to proper estimate how much time and effort it takes for me to implement all the features that I have in my head.

For example, the first section of my assignment took close to a week to complete. I learned a lot during that process so I was able to complete the second section in just a couple days. This led me to think that the third section would take a couple days as well, but this third section is more complex than the second so it makes sense that it's taking the extra time.

I'm also hell bent on doing this right and since the course is self-paced, I'm perfectly fine with my progress but still look forward to wrapping things up which should be tonight but I know I'll end up taking an extra day to polish all the code. 

Either way, it should be done soon and I will definitely share it with you when it is.

Talk to you tomorrow,
