I feel bad in a way, but very relieved.

See, this Visual Programming project is way over my head. However, the teacher has given us probably 80% of the solution, and I'm just copying it over at this point. I don't understand it all--and I certainly couldn't've come up with probably 90% of it--but I don't know what else to do except keep going and try to understand it as well as I can.

By the way, copying is ok in this case. He gave this stuff to us for whatever reason, and it was a wonderful blessing. It lifted my spirits.

But after this is over, I don't think you want to hire me to to develop your ATM software application. Not quite ready to do that. But if you put me as an assistant working with a veteran, I might be able to fill that role. I understand conceptually what's going on, but the practical implementation of the code's a bit much. Actually a lot much.
