What I learned this Week. Week 9.

Here we are at the start of another week, I am hoping for a very productive week. I have a few meetings planned so we will see how it goes.

Monday

Today was good and bad. I started out stressed because I didn't get to the things I wanted to do over the weekend. I forgot to publish my blog. It was all written I just simply forgot to publish it. I wrote out half an email and then forgot about it and now replied today. I didn't do the cleaning I meant to. I felt low about myself but wanted to just have a fresh look on today. I randomly decided to take an assessment and fell short because it was on topics I hadn't learned in the past. I know it sounds silly to beat one self up over something so small, but it really just bothered me that I did so bad. I had to separate and reset myself in order to come back and continue with my day. Which afterwards today ended up being not only extremely productive, but I had fun while doing it.

Tuesday

Today was good. Had a wonderful discussion about Dr. Who with my cousin on our way to his work today. I haven't mentioned this before but Dr. Who is one of my favorite shows, so anytime I get a chance to rant about my favorite doctor, it's a riot. I switched up my practice problems from algorithms in Python to SQL queries. As a data scientist, the skills SQL teaches me are more beneficial to have than learning how to traverse a Binary Search Tree. I also applied to some awesome jobs. For the first time ever I actually got some good insight from my educational institution about where I could be applying and found some great job opportunities that I hope to be considered for.

Wednesday

Today was a great day. It is April 20th and I am looking forward to partaking after I am finished with my working day. My practice problems gave me some grief but it always ends up being a perfect learning opportunity. I am going through freecodecamps Python course as a refresher as well, I don't want to be caught forgetting the fundamentals.

Thursday

Today was a good day again. Sadly there was some miscommunication between a friend and me. I ended up missing a meeting I was looking forward to. But we have plans to reschedule and move forward. I killed it with my practice problems today. Doing all this SQL really gets my in the mood to work for someone. I love doing data science on my own for learning purposes, but I am ready to make a difference and showcase what I can do. Not to mention the pay would be helpful. I am still living in my parents basement at the moment. I do realize that its a privilege to be able to not work and have somewhere safe to live, and I am more than grateful. I just want someone somewhere to take a chance on me, I know they won't regret it.

Friday

Today was good and bad. I had a rough start as I had a mock interview with someone I haven't met before. Even though my conscious self can maintain normal through triggering events, my sub-conscious and body still react. My sleep isn't near as restful, I can barely eat, I can't keep my head straight, I have to constantly remind myself what I am doing. Honestly it is quite debilitating. Even though I do great in the actual interview, and am not even nervous or anxious about it, my body still reacts this way before hand. After I was able to say good-bye, I immediately made some delicious food and got my self back on track. I applied to a few jobs and got my practice problems done with no issues.

Yay! Another week down. I hope you enjoyed and learned something new along side of me.
