I went in the day after the marathon ready to clean up my work from the day before. I had five questions still to do. These questions had plagued me the day before so terribly that I passed over them and forged on, leaving unseemly red X’s hanging over their titles while I completed the rest. Fresh and rested in the morning, I blew through them in twenty minutes.
I didn’t do so well on the quiz, though. I think there was some burnout yesterday, and I dropped a few questions that I should have gotten.
We covered arrays today and “for” loops. A For Loop basically says that we want a block of code to repeat over and over until a certain barrier is reached. An example of the barrier might be i < 5. So long as i < 5 is true, the code we wrote will execute over and over and over.
There were some things in this lecture that were new to me, but overall the prework is still paying dividends.
It was picture day for the Pathway program, so I wore a button-up shirt and a blazer. I was definitely the fanciest one there. They took us outside and we stood in front of the obligatory red-brick wall for our snapshots. Mine came out fine, but I think I might stick with the LinkedIn picture that I already have.
After that, we were given our exercises for arrays and for loops. It wasn’t nearly as bad as yesterday, the workload cut in half. The questions were complex in their logic, but I learned so much yesterday that the struggle was minimal. I was out of there by five o’clock.
Tomorrow is Friday and the end of the week. I’m enjoying the hell out of these days, but I am certainly looking forward to sleeping in and having a relaxing day.
