What did you do this past week?

This past week, I completed a few of my pending assignments, and took some of my midterm exams. I also completed a few pending tasks for some of the organizations I am in.

What’s in your way?

As of now, there is nothing in my way. I just need to study for the upcoming exam and make sure I am on task.

What will you do next week?

Next week, I will study for the exam coming up on Wednesday and Thursday. Additionally, I will begin the allocator project, as I have already found a partner and set up the basics.

If you read it, what did you think of The Open-Closed Principle?

It was a good read, and very interesting to learn these important concepts that I had slight knowledge of, but could have learned and grasped better!

What was your experience of iterator concepts, std::array, and std::vector? (this question will vary, week to week)

I feel like these were great concepts to learn. I feel like this past week, I lost track on some parts of this lesson, so I need to go back and review these concepts, especially with the exam coming up so soon.

What made you happy this week?

I got to see a few of my family friends this weekend, which was a pretty fun experience!

What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

My pick of the week is Pomodoro Timer. It’s a great way to make sure you are productive while allocating the right amount of time for mini breaks while you are studying or completing a project!
