Today – very happily finally understood a powerful technique! I can now laugh at how the obvious alluded me 
I found my final report for the semester frustrating – I had a difficult time with LaTex. Now I understand the frustration with programming also -
I would plan everything and then type it as a whole – left with finding errors all at once. Dan wandered by and gave me a little project to work on – the concept of the day for me was – go line by line – a lot easier to find errors when only dealing with one at a time – now, I understand Gary’s suggestion about working based on success rather than tackling things on a large scale and feeling like a failure – it clicked – smaller steps and goals – as Dr. Wang stated – a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step – now I understand it is all the small steps that add up to the thousand miles.
Yesterday – was the first day of the summer workshop. I was quite excited to read a Discover article on Ingrid Debechies and wavelets – I had wondered if I should have pressed through with the study of wavelets – instead of letting fear take over – I happily revisited the topic after meeting with Dr. Gottlieb and discussing goals (she had remembered the article and suggested it to me) it brought back enthusiasm and curiosity – a new energy – but, also a greater understanding of researching and organizing time and information that I learned over the spring semester should make a big difference
