I’m still playing catch up …
… to where I think ‘ideal’ me should be at this point.
Stand up time:
Last 7 Days
Over the course of the past week, I …
-
‘Failed’ to finish up the home study curriculum - it’s denser (and waaaaaay richer) than I estimated. I’m about 80% done, give or take.
-
Wrote the blog post, yay! – See it here.
-
Made it to week 3 of the CS50 intro to comp sci course - one week short of my target.
-
Implemented and hosted a small project using the Fetch API - A random quote generator.
-
Revamped my study curriculum, again, implementing feedback gleaned from my pal and adapting it to my current time frame (5–6 weeks). See it live here.
-
Failed to finish up the YDKJS book – sheer indiscipline, no excuses.
-
Failed to make it to day 25 of Javascript 30 – currently on day 15 (shame on you, Kizito).
-
Started and made it past the halfway point of Codecademy’s Learn SQL course. Currently on Lesson 4/4.
-
Purchased Wes Bos' Learn Node course – before prices allegedly go up again.
A Few Reflections
While not impressed, at all, with my progress for the past week, I’m not sober about it either.
There were days where I could have, and should have, accomplished more, but I gave into procrastination by planning. 🤷🏾♂️
Also, I don’t think running multiple courses concurrently is helping either.

Blockers
A few for last week. Here:
Electricity!!!!!!
The power situation in my area is not funny at all. We’ve, for the past 6–8 weeks, not had even a minute of power supply.
Internet
I, on average, consume 3 - 4GB daily streaming lectures from all edges of the internet. While I’m not complaining about the cost any more (I’m honestly tired), stability is now a pain.
Lectures which are supposed to be an hour long tops are taking me 1.5 to 2 hours because of buffering.
*sighs*
Anyhow, sha, the boy is undeterred.
Here’s to a fruitful week!
