Stressed


I'm learning a little bit about Ajax. This is my first encounter programming Ajax this semester. I must say it not always easy learning programming languages. I was working on the 1st lab I forgot how easy you can make a mistake coding and feel like your lost forever.

I have learned how to not stress about programming or at least not too much. If I'm stuck trying to figure out on how to code or how to make the program work the way I want, I will usually take a break from the problem for awhile maybe evening sleep on it. Then the next day get back to working on it. Asking for help or doing a bit more research will also help. According to the American Institute of Stress Stress is difficult for scientists to define because it is a subjective sensation associated with varied symptoms that differ for each of us. there are ways to help with stress. There are several stress management tips for students that might me helpful.

I know as students we often deal with alot of stress. Like having three exams on the same day and trying to allocate enough time to study for each. Trying to figure out what went wrong when coding. remember not all stress is bad and when it gets to stressful try some stress management tips.

  1. Nobody enjoys stress - at least not that I know of. One thing that I have learned to do is figure out what the most important activities are and complete them first. There are times where we can't complete everything that we have to - that is part of life - but we need to learn how to cope with the burdens placed on us.

    Then again, that is easier said than done.

  2. I feel the same way Latoya. I do quite a bit of programming for my job mostly using OO languages. This web stuff is much different and it has been quite a while since I've done it so I'll be struggling right along with you. Good Luck.
