Reflection:

The first two came seamlessly, however those bugs are general complaints everyone has. After the first couple it became a little challenging, trying to recall things that the mind forgot. With bugs, you notice it as you see, however once it’s out of sight, it’s out of your mind. Once I got to about five, then it became easy. One bug would trigger another memory creating a domino effect. Eventually I ran out of steam around bug eighteen. Then it became a starring contest with me and my screen. It was interesting trying to remember bugs, you don’t realize how many you have until you have to start listing them out.
