I feel more confident than I ever have before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve faced some challenges (Windows 10) in my classes and I’ve always had a classmate or groupmate to help me get back on track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This NES Emulator group project I’ve been working on has been a challenge but my groupmates, especially Austin and Gevko, have been patiently working with me, hopping on Discord calls and pair programming with me. I had some difficulty setting up the environment and linter. I was on a Discord call with Gevko trying for a while to see what was the issue, and it came from being on Windows (Windows). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting back into Git has been refreshing and working with tests and linting has been as well. In true fashion, this feels like a culmination of all the classes I’ve had before and this is my real chance to use the information and skills I’ve obtained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I get along with my groupmates and they are very patient with me. I just hope I am not putting any undue stress on anybody. I’m sure they would mention it if I was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re doing this process iteratively and the pacing has been good for spacing out the work so it doesn’t get overwhelming with all of my other subjects. I am just very busy during the week so I have to make my contributions closer to or on the weekend but that hasn’t been an issue thus far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m using JetBrains’ CLion now (free trial) and loving it. I know that true nerds can code in Neo Vim but I like a fancy IDE that helps me a little bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This class is well structured and I wish i could offer any constructive criticism but I fear that my mind is too focused on the project to try and find any fault with the system as a whole, i hope you understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for the job hunt it is a slow start but i am very much eager and willing to start any kind of role whether it be part-time or an internship so I can focus on school as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for methods on relieving stress and managing time? I believe I’ve put it into a class discussion somewhere but it’s just a difficult balance of starting just a little earlier on projects, making yourself work on them just a little longer each day, and taking the time to do the little things for your project or group. I pray I continue to follow my own advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Au revoir and thanks for reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
