Day 12: MySQL

Setting up the database diagrams yesterday was difficult but manipulating them today was a lot of fun. I spent the morning trying to solve the MySQL problems from last night but got nowhere. A lot of my classmates had attempted the problems and just like me they answered a good chunk of the problems but left the impossible ones behind for the day's activities.

At 9am we got tested with Javascript and paired up in groups of three to solve a problem together. They placed out a problem and I was relieved at how incredibly easy it was. I wrote out the solution on the board and while the answer was correct I was embarrassed later to find out that the syntax was wrong. After the quiz we spent the morning coding MySQL. By noon we broke for an hour of sports. Every Tuesday and Thursday we have optional sports for an hour as a chance to bond and relieve some stress. Since this is the first week we were all required to attend. I like this idea but I forgot to bring my workout clothes and was stuck moving out in the hot sun with my constricted clothes for over an hour. Must remember to pack shorts and running shoes for Thursday.

In the afternoon we resumed the lectures and had another javascript quiz at 2pm. It was easy and I got a good score. By 5pm I understood how to manipulate with MySQL and I was off to work handling the brunt of the day's assignments. It was easy but tedious and I'm far from finished with the day's works. I want to carry on but it's getting too late and I'm too tired. Still a good day.
