~Sunday, August 4th 2024~

This weekend was exhausting. Manifesting a good start to the week. Otherwise, I did a bit of CSS yesterday and I only have two more chapters left on the course material.

Wed, July 31st, 2024

It's been a bit but a lot has happened recently. I passed the Network+ certification about two weeks ago. Since then, I've picked up my web development class again aiming to finish before I start a new job in a couple of weeks. I rediscovered? a cute coffee shop near my house to study at and I spent about two hours there today. The coffee was a 7/10. I nearly finished the 5th chapter of my online textbook. I'm ready to be done with this class.

it's exam day for Network+! I have been studying 2+ hours daily for this stupid cert for weeks on end.

Affirmations for the day

I will pass this test because I am knowledgeable of all areas of the content.

I have the problem solving skills necessary to figure out the answers to the questions.

I prepared adequately for this and I will pass.

Studying at home tonight and finally!! Finished Network+ study videos. Tomorrow is PBQ and labs day and hopefully Sunday is test day. I haven’t posted many pictures using my PC setup so I figured I’d do that since it looks halfway decent today.

Productive for: 3 hrs

Night studies are just the coziest 💤🌙

Almost done with the video part of studying for Network+. After this, it’s onto the vendor material.

*Somewhat* productive day

Spanning tree protocol and IEEE standards all day long :) I passed my last class (not web dev, that one is in break jail). Working on the Network+ certification now

June 1st, 2024 | Day 6 of 100 day productivity challenge

I’ve been taking a bit of a social media break in an effort to break my phone addiction and it’s worked a little bit. Slow progress is still progress. Today I decided to do some self care and dilly dally at the bookstore and work on some writing I’ve been doing in my free time to reset my brain. Definitely helping. 📖💻

Happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈

hi internet people :)

the burnout is hitting me hard today. i don't know if it is work or that this material is getting more difficult but doesn't really matter. we're back at barnes and noble today to knock out a few more sections of css and js. i plan on staying until they close bc i will not do anything if i'm at home. please don't scream at me for the drink, b&n is one of the few places i can be without getting overstimulated easily.

forest time: 1 hr 25min as of 3:24 pm | actual productivity time is about 2.5 hr.

Study/code sesh in Barnes and noble after work today. Still in search of a cozy dimly lit coffee shop to study in. Only bad thing about going to school online ;(

cozy at home study vibes

the past few days have been so stupid at work :/ i'm so ready for the weekend. Hunkering down for the rest of the night to finish my section on HTML then moving onto CSS if I can stay awake :) first picture is a small snippet I wrote while doing my course yesterday

Semester/End of Term Update

Hi internet people! Tomorrow is my final exam for my last class of the term so I figured I'd do a bit of a recap.

Classes Taken: 5

Credit hours: 19

Certifications gained: 3/10

I started my first term with WGU in October of 2023 and in that time completed 19 credit hours and five classes; two of which were certifications. WGU is a self paced online university which lets me go through classes much faster than I would at a brick & mortar. Being able to do one class at a time has been such a huge lifesaver with my ADHD. I can only focus on one thing at a time. It did kind of kick me in the ass with Linux though, because I couldn't make myself concentrate on it for my life.

I'm tentatively scheduled for 26 credits next term and I'm not 100% sure if I will end up meeting that goal. I hope so though! My next certifications are Network+ and Security+ which should help me get a government sector job and up my pay a little bit.

On another note: I finally finished the Crescent City series from Sarah J Maas last night and woweee is it a rollercoaster. Next reads are the Atlas Complex and a nonfiction duology on Germanic paganism and folk magic.

it’s a pretty chill day but i am kinda stressed cuz math isn’t my strongest subject 😭 i really wished boards started with pcb to give me some confidence in my upcoming exams but yeah wtv, it is what it is

anyways, i left probability for today and i just finished it. i feel pretty good today, not sick at all so that’s good. i pulled an all nighter last night and got a quick two hour nap at 8 am cuz my brain would not process more math without rest but i feel pretty okay and not tired even after my all nighter

anyways goodluck for today loves <3 stay hydrated
