In terms of the project, everything is moving onto the final couple steps. We have finished all major functionalities, now it is just a matter of testing and making sure the website is usable. This will be a big endeavor, since the website still looks like it was made in early 2000s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from that, I just heard back from a company that I applied to, and I got the message that I got accepted. I feel pretty good since this will be the first job where I can have enough money to start paying off my student tuition. I have had always a dream, where I would pay everything off except a penny, and say I owe a penny in student loans. I am also thinking about applying for more jobs as well, since I don&#8217;t think one will be enough, maybe part time work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have made a promise to myself that even though I got the job that I did, I will still try to do more. I think I might start working on open source projects. One that comes to mind is KDE, a desktop environment for Linux, and one that I am currently using. There are certain aspects of it that I don&#8217;t like, and I am thinking of researching and fixing them and hopefully releasing that to the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I got a job in tech, one of the benefits that I will have is building a PC that is overpowered, and it wouldn&#8217;t be considered an impulse\/wast of money to buy since it is for &#8220;work&#8221;. I think I will start on my dream of thousands of Steam games collection. Basically, things are looking up, and hopefully it stays that way. I also dream of working with AI, but reading about it is so boring&#8230; That is why I am thinking of skipping the learning and going straight to implementation, and work backwards that way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway I was all over the place, but that is what happened this week. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week will be a slow one.
