Oh yeah, I remember that feels.
So this past couple of weeks have been pretty stressful. I pitched a project to my class that was way more than I thought it would be. It seemed simple: create a form that would capture data, then send that data to an email address.
Let me start off at the beginning of last semester. An android development course is being offered for the first time at Ivy Tech. I figure that this is right up my alley because I really want to be an app developer. The catch is that you have to know Java in order to start programming Android Apps. I know zero Java, but hey there’s a 4 week crash course within the App course!
Alright, so by the end of the App course, I’m stressing because my project isn’t working. I’m parsing double variables into strings and back; trying to get check boxes to hold values to send to another activity. None of the Java I throw at throw at the code emulator is working and it’s due the next week. While all of this is happening, my stress level is skyrocketing…which brings my blood sugar to abnormal levels.
Oh yeah did I mention I’m a diabetic? So basically all of the symptoms I haven’t felt in years are back. The vision in my left eye is blurry, constant dry mouth, peeing every 45 minutes. Oh and the pee smells like candy so at least something’s positive right?
Hopefully after this week is over, I can get back to normal (with the help of pills I haven’t needed for a couple of years) and feel better. Writing about it makes me feel a little better.
