I’m writing this blog with a bottle of water next to me while a tsunami of rain floods my street. I spent the whole week stressing about an interview I have tomorrow afternoon and my personal project I’m making. I’m so happy to be only a few hours away from Friday after what felt like a long week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I got an interview at Target for another truck unloading job which isn’t related to my degree but its a closer opportunity than my current job so I’ll take it. I have been spending the last few days studying some LeetCode problems and working on my personal project I’m making on the side so I can improve my resume and chance of getting an internship\/job related to software engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aside from my job hunt, interviews, and current personal projects I have been spending a good amount of time learning about technology and topics related to my Capstone project which is about Algorithmic Stock Market Trading Strategies. I was recently introduced to a program called Quantconnect lean from my project sponsor and now I have finally finished installing and setting up the program so I can start learning how to effectively use it. Sadly the installation process was easier said than done as the tutorial I watched was only 10 minutes while the in person installation took nearly a hour due to debugging issues with my Visual Studio install….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I spent a good 15 minutes alone trying to figure out why my Visual Studio program was throwing errors about not finding the “Microsoft .NET SDK”, and then I spent another 10 minutes afterwards trying to figure out why my Visual Studio program would not let me install additional individual packages without throwing a “channel manifest” error every attempt. Time was just flying right by before I got fed up and restarted my computer. I guess sometimes all things need is a simple restart button because finally my Visual Studio was able to properly download the needed packages and let me run Quantconnect lean for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m excited to continue on my journey with my Capstone project, job hunt, and personal projects but there are times where a weekend is greatly needed and now is one of those times \ud83d\ude2b. Have a great Friday and welcome to the weekend everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
