Here I am starting on phase 1 today. This time on my own. I really wanted to tackle this on my own and try to solve my tasks for the day. I realised I have a ways to go. I went through 2D following along and boy can I follow directions. I was able to follow everything to a T. Once I was tasked to go on my own to figure out the next steps in the development of my shooter game, I realised I am simply lost.

I tried getting into Unity C sharp and picking away the questions I had but I found my self falling down a endless pit of frustration and doubts on my self. I remember Jonathan mentioned to not get stuck on a blockage for more than 20 minutes.. I felt I was stuck all day. I needed to cool down and reset my mind. I need to spend the weekend relaxing and recharging. I have been grinding so hard to figure this out that my brain is getting smushed.

I need to start Monday off right. I am not giving up or trying to give up. I feel I am past the point of no return. I need to succeed at this. I feel today was a failure as in developing the game. But I realised one thing. I have no idea what I am doing and need to accept that and move forward as a student and learn to simply ask for help.

I am seeing daily all the new interns that are coming on board and I remember how lost I was than. I just need to stay positive and strive to succeed in this opportunity I would honestly not get anywhere else. I will strive to be better and tackle this challenge!
