[rp, life] i really want to do tags but i gotta finish this coding challenge for my dev program app in the next 5 days and my brain is steadily turning to mush
this is all a somewhat roundabout way to say: yesterday i realized my issue with numbers is probably dyscalculia and that's why basic math makes my brain go to hell. idk why it took me this long to connect the dots on that one
i've been going through the build curriculum with a wordpad doc open where i just...type the words i've been reading in so they actually sink in. it's been helpful! it also helps to talk to myself in the notes so that i can deconstruct the problem, since speaking out loud mostly just causes me to go in loops (ha)
things that are less cool: when the build curriculum throws a weird loop block at me and expects me to know why it Does That
