All right, so when I was first learning about objects, I was taking this class and
the professor was at the front of the room talking to us about objects.
And he kept saying objects this and objects that, and
I just kept getting more and more confused.
I'm sitting there thinking, objects, they're like things.
But, what the heck is an object?
And finally, I got up the nerve to raise my hand and ask the professor,
what is an object?
And he kind of looked at me with this look on his face like, oh dear, where have I
gone wrong with this poor student that she doesn't know what an object is?
But he was very patient with me, explained what an object is, and after he
explained it, I realized that I actually knew more about objects than I thought.
I just hadn't necessarily associated the word object with the concept that I
already knew a fair amount about.
So that was kind of an example of vocabulary tripping me up.
And as I learned a little bit more, and got more sophisticated with designing and
implementing objects, it all made more sense.
I look back now, and I wonder how I could have possibly struggled
with something that seems so simple to me now.
But that's how it is when you're first starting out.
