As I write this first blog post, I am appreciating this assignment of having students blog their way through their last course of this program. It’s a great place to capture not only the technical hurdles and achievements, but also the emotional aspects. I didn’t really have an outlet for that through my time here at OSU. For me, I started this program a while back. Like, back when 161 and 162 were in C++. To be sitting here writing a blog post about my last course now, is rewarding in itself and makes me look back on my journey to get here. I am both grateful that I have made it this far, and a bit nervous as well. There are a lot of things contributing to the nervousness: meeting new teammates, general worries of starting a new project, and starting the last chapter of OSU. Most of all though I am excited to tackle the challenges that this course will provide and look forward to grow along my teammates. Cheers to a great semester!
