I overslept again and got there a little before 10AM. After algorithms VT, RP, and I went to the Santa Clara library to do some work away from the noise, bad internet connection, and distractions of the dojo. On our way there we stopped by Safeway and I picked up some more Red Bull. I think I'm starting to get addicted to the caffeine; I was grumpy until I got some caffeine in my system. VT says that's fine because every man has their vices and I would be foolish to try to monopolize on a single vice as I had been trying to do for the last year. I hope this doesn't become the case after the bootcamp is over. We got back before 3PM, when we were scheduled to have a lecture on Ember.
We didn't end up having lectures for some reason but I did make a breakthrough with the Rails Black Belt preparation. Early this week I was having difficulty with rails because I didn't know how to run two forms on the same page. Rails has a designated protocol for moving data to and from a view page. I've been trying to get help all week but something all comes up that prevents me from asking someone for it. Finally one of the instructors came up to me and asked me if I was understanding the material and I told him about my struggle and in 20 minutes he helped me solve it. I made a little more progress today and ended today's material a little better off.
Although this is our second to last week of the bootcamp this is AD's final week because he needs to leave the country for immigration reasons. We decided to say goodbye by going to Dave & Buster for drinks and games. We were there for about three hours and then called it a night.
