I haven't kept my promise. It's been a while since I wrote anything here. One important reason is that my pain hasn't gone away. I think it's been seven days since I've been struggling with it. I hope it will end soon because I can't do anything because of it. I have stopped learning Python for the moment, and I haven't done my school assignments yet. I simply can't focus because of the pain.

It's clear this has been a lesson for me, but I don't know yet what I've learned. Maybe that's still something I have to discover. One thing's for sure, though: I don't want to go to a dentist at all. It's mostly because of the money because, I imagine, if I had the money, I would have gone until now. But it's also a bit because I don't know what will happen there. That's why I'm still keeping at it and hoping it will end soon.

Aside from these issues, I still think it's a good idea to pursue a career in programming. I want to focus on web development at the moment because it seems a little "easier", and it's also something I'm interested in. I'll see how that goes.

I don't know what I've done to deserve this, but since yesterday I've been having a terrible tooth-ache. It's simply horrible; it kept me up all night, so today I woke up at twelve. I don't know what to do because it won't subside at all. I thought it was gone a few hours ago, but it came back with a kick. It only stops when I eat, but that doesn't help because I can't eat or chew gum all the time, especially at night.

I'm considering a career change. I've started learning Python because, after some thinking, I realized that I love computers and programming. Since I started, I've been spending almost the entire day writing code, without feeling bored. Furthermore, the feeling I have when I make a script work is just great.

I think this is why I like programming so much--because I receive feedback on my work immediately. Programming also offers the possibility to create great things: websites, software, games, etc. It also offers the possibility of a financially satisfying career.

These days, I've been thinking that I had the possibility to choose this path sooner, but discarded it. I could have been at a higher level right now, but regrets are pointless. I'll just have to stick to it now.

I haven't been around here for a while. As usual, I have been avoiding writing. I guess I haven't escaped writer's block, but I feel it's something more. Lately, I've been having some self-confidence issues. This has spread to everything I do. Because of the last few months, I've started to feel worse emotionally. I'm isolated, without any friends, without any money, without any solutions to leave.

I've started learning Python. I realized one night that programming suits me better. Although programming can take an "art" form, at its basics it's just a question of right or wrong. You either write code that works or you don't. This comes in contrast with writing, where things are subjective. Especially in my case, because I don't have any experience, it's difficult to have the necessary confidence to keep writing and writing until I find something. It's obvious from my difficulties with this blog that I have problems motivating myself to keep writing.

I hope that programming will get me out of this. My objective is to start earning enough money to be able to leave and to start trying projects that I have in mind. Otherwise, I don't know how to handle the situation.
