I&#8217;m about halfway done with my last quarter at OSU. Time really flies when you&#8217;re&#8230; having fun (sometimes). I&#8217;m learning a lot in my classes. I&#8217;ve already learned so much about Flutter and building mobile apps. I&#8217;m undoubtedly producing some awful spaghetti code, but just being able to get started coding is a huge hurdle, and I will become better over time. It&#8217;s a cool feeling because I actually feel confident that I could legitimately build a mobile app on my own if I wanted to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve said it before, but I do really wish I could take only one or two classes.. I do think I&#8217;m doing a little bit of a disservice to myself for not having the time to dive as deep into the material as I want to. But unfortunately real jobs take precedence, and that&#8217;s the end goal of a degree, so I digress. I just like learning and I do honor academia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other news, I passed the hiring committee at Google which is absolutely insane. Right now there are a lot of students stuck in the team matching phase as Google has had to reevaluate headcount, but it&#8217;s pretty close to a surefire offer at this point which is so exciting. If I told myself two years ago I would be working for Google, I would have slapped myself and said I&#8217;m crazy. I didn&#8217;t even know what Oregon State was 2 years ago. Life really is crazy sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stress is definitely ramping up on all aspects of life right now, but I&#8217;m here for it, and quite frankly that&#8217;s when I produce my best work, which is kind of sad, but also comes in handy as I know I have an extra gear if I need it. Overall I hope to keep making steady progress with my classes and finish OSU with a somewhat memorable bang if our project ends up being successful. Either that or someone steals my Google API key and charges thousands of dollars. We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe!
