Okay, so today I was messing around with this whole “fields or goff” thing, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a wild ride. I started off pretty clueless, not gonna lie.
First, I tried to just dive right in. I was like, “I’m gonna figure this out as I go.” Big mistake! It was like trying to assemble furniture without the instructions. I ended up with a bunch of random pieces that didn’t fit together. Then, I spent some time looking up what this stuff even means. I started looking up random phrases and questions like “in the reaction 2K+Br2–2K+ + 2Br-, which species is being reduced?” and questions about blue and green sandals and their prices. I even started looking at flashcards about Oxidation and reduction! It was all over the place.
After that, I decided to take a step back and do some actual research. I read through a bunch of articles and watched some videos. It was a lot of information to take in, but slowly, things started to make a little more sense. I even tried to answer some questions that were on the boards I was reading, using some kind of chart of accounts, like they were talking about in November. I had no idea what I was doing, but it felt productive.
Then came the fun part – experimenting. I started small, trying out different things and seeing what happened. There was a lot of trial and error, I won’t sugarcoat it. I got things wrong, a lot. But every time I messed up, I learned something new. I started to see patterns, to understand how things worked together. I found out that fields appear in alphabetical order in a SELECT statement, and that in real life, groups are like rotations of objects. I felt like I was getting somewhere!
I even got into some other stuff, like helping people stay safe on a boat and doing water rescues, and learning about titles with Fannie Mae’s AI tool. This whole journey has really taken me places.
Finally, after hours of work, I actually managed to get something working. It wasn’t perfect, but it was something. And you know what? That felt pretty damn good. I even figured out the difference between combination, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement reactions. Who knew?
So, that’s my story about fields or goff. It was a messy, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately rewarding experience. And the best part? I learned a ton along the way.
- I started by trying to wing it.
- Then I did some research.
- Next, I experimented and failed a lot.
- Finally, I got something working.
- And most importantly, I learned a bunch!
This whole thing reminded me that it’s okay to not know everything. It’s okay to struggle. The important thing is to keep trying, keep learning, and never give up.
