Lol I know that feeling. As someone who has worked in the field for a little while I can say one of the most common things to happen when troubleshooting is missing the obvious. The first thing I do when I become stumped on a issue is step away for a little while. Stretch the legs, get some coffee, etc. Then come back and try to take a fresh look at the problem. A lot of times this works. When it does not then comes plan b; i.e. ask for help, it's amazing what a fresh pair of eyes can see as you just learned. Best of luck with your class. A C++ course in a EE major is what got me to switch my focus to comp sci!
