I'm still on Sinatra and today we took a turn to handling databases through migration. Migration allows users to manipulate data on the terminal and then transfer it to the schema that is represented in Ruby. Setting it up for Sinatra was a little tricky but once I got that set up it felt like Rails, which is the entire point.
Past that I didn't get that far in the chapter today. I wasn't really feeling too pumped up. I was productive in the morning and then after lunch I took a nap and kinda lost my focus after that. I got a couple of assignments done and now it looks like the next 50% of the chapter will be focused on lectures instead of assignments. I'm almost tempted to go home a little early today, nearly everyone else has.
VT said that there will be a hackathon this weekend called "Hack The Moon" and he asked me if I wanted to come. I quickly agreed and it will begin tomorrow, meaning that I already got my weekend planned. We're encouraged to do hackathons cause it gives us the opportunity to apply our training to a real-life scenario, network, and get free stuff. I know that every time VT does one he comes back on Monday with a new story to tell and a different approach to the material. So I'm looking forward to that. It will be intensive though and I should use tonight to get some rest.
Tomorrow VT, two other people here, and I will in full mood for the entire weekend. I should bring some clothes in tomorrow so I'll sleep in. That would be the best since the event is being hosted nearby.
In regards to the job hunt I got an email today from a recruiter asking for a phone interview tomorrow. The job she wants to talk about is for an IT role. It doesn't sound like much coding is involved or up my field but it couldn't hurt to talk about it. Worst thing that could happen is that I realize that it's not a good fit and turn it down.
