As mentioned in chat, I am feeling very overwhelmed these days. Today is the one week anniversary of classes starting. And I've already had a ton of homework. One class alone has already had three assignments due, and they're incredibly poorly worded and confusing. Professor feels quite anal too so it's gotta be done very specifically. At least the shituation has allowed the class to bond so that's nice I guess?

I'm terrible at programming. I've tried it before and it didn't work well. Well these days Epidemiology is a lot of SAS/R which is all programming. I'm stuck in the one online class section for that. I have yet to make it through an entire zoom meeting without it failing in some way. Video or audio cuts out or it kills the whole apartment internet. It makes learning the material I'm trash at impossible. Professor for that class is different than the in-person sections. Add/drop ends tonight at midnight so I've been refreshing the page constantly but nothing is opening up. I'm very not optimistic and I'm pretty sure I'll have to poorly teach myself programming this semester and hope that knowledge holds me through these next two years. It sucks the foundational course is such shit and I may be set up for failure this early. I talked to my advisors about it and they basically said tough shit. I know no one in the online class. Everyone I know has the in-person, so I don't even have them to lean on. Different homework and assignments in the classes. It's rough yo.

Update: ya boi got into the Wednesday night in person class bless tf up
