The biggest win this week for me was getting my first tattoo! I got three different colored lines on my wrist, each line represents one year sober, and next year I'll get another line. I got it on Sunday because that marked three years of no alcohol for me! :D

I have one purple line, one blue line, and one green line. Next year will be a yellow line, then orange, then a red line. I'll be going for the rainbow, but skipping indigo because to me it's just light blue and therefore isn't really a distinct color to put on the rainbow. Some may disagree, but that's a fight I'm willing to run away from.

Received and declined a new job offer. Also notified my employer that I move to another city soon. Since they have an office there and it's a bad time to fire me, they might even help me move

Win in a weird situation: As I'm skilling up to transition out of my current industry, I've been hired by a colleague (in my current industry) to build a basic web-app for a major media company. That was two weeks ago. This week, he wants me to meet with another stakeholder company to discuss integration to their system.
This is all awesome.
However. I'm just starting out, and this is getting big fast. I guess there's nothing like the deep end, right? Even with imposter syndrome at 110%

In Django, I made my first Mixin to redirect to a warning page when a user with a deactivated profile tries to browse pages of the system.

I also applied for my first talk, ever! It's on TDD

Fixed one of my projects, tbh I had not thought how hard is web dev until I had to code async code. Learned promises and felt pretty good considering I haven't done much JS coding.

I attended all of my class, except for one elective course class.
I also did all my homework one time.
I was even unable to read lecture slides but still coded some lines.
Next day, I wore this tank to school.

I know it sounds silly. but I mean; despite the fact that I have 3 times of panic attack per day even without panicking.
It is super hard. I mean, It's my 3rd semester. But it's never been this hard. and the subjects all pretty much either I already know or I was really looking forward to learning.

Honestly, it's a challenging time ever. but I'll survive, as I always have been.
