Day 70: Start Of The Final Week

And so begins the final week at the coding bootcamp. I can't believe time went by that quickly. I don't even remember going home most nights. Maybe that's why I feel so tired most of the time. And yet I don't want it to end. There's still so much I feel like I haven't learned yet. I don't want to go home yet, even though there is nothing else for me to do tonight.

I spoke to my friend in Germany today and after catching up he told me about what he's expecting for his business' site. Three months ago I would have panicked at everything he listed out but this time I ended the conversation feeling confident about this project. Since this is the final week I am going to work on this for Friday's presentation but I don't expect to finish. I signed up for the dojo's one month, post-graduate, residency program and spent that time working on the site and two other lesser projects to create a solid portfolio for the job hunt.

After the call with Germany finished VT and I went to get lunch/dinner at a Chinese restaurant. After we ate we walked to an Asian grocery store and got some pie cakes, which are like quiches but sweeter, and ate them in my car. This is going to be one of the last few times we'll be able to do stuff like this. I can't believe that it is finally hitting me. And he's not even going to stay until the Friday presentation; his plane is scheduled to leave on Friday, making Thursday his final day. I am going to miss him. I've said goodbye to plenty of good friends before, and after a while you learn that it's not forever, if you're good enough friends you'll see each other again. I said that I'll come and visit him and he said that he intends to come back next year for work.

We got back and I sat down to get started on the site. Setting up the site is easy, now the real fun is getting the statements from my friend to post it on there.

After 6PM I tired down and decided to call it a day and watch some videos on Hulu. VT did the same. I thought about leaving early cause I was feeling guilty about not doing any work here but VT encouraged me to continue since this is our last week together. So we sat and watched our stuff together.
