What did you do this past week?

This past week, I started my work on IDB3, which included enhancing some of the parts I had done, as well as working on some of the components that needed to be added to our site. In addition to this, I attended class and participated in the exercises, and worked on assignments for my other classes, as I had a lot due this week that I had to get knocked out for the week.

What’s in your way?

Currently, there is nothing in my way. I need to make sure I am on task with all my goals this week, and complete all my assignments in an efficient and timely manner.

What will you do next week?

Next week, I will continue working on assignments for my classes, including IDB3. For IDB3, I need to continue the parts I was assigned, including testing. I need to work on making more tests to test the frontend, as we were short on time to do some of those parts for the previous phase.

If you read it, what did you think of the Why getter and setter methods are evil?

It was a good and informative reading, and I am glad that we were assigned this reading. It helped me learn more about good design and object-oriented concepts. I would like to have more readings like this.

What was your experience of select, project, cross join and theta join? (this question will vary, week to week)

These were good concepts to learn, but they were slightly confusing. I liked the fact that we had exercises on some of these concepts to solidify our understanding on them, but I would like to see some more examples in class.

What made you happy this week?

This week, I got the J&J vaccine, and that made me happy, as it is only one dose and makes me feel much safer when going outdoors. Getting the vaccine was definitely worth it, and I am happy that I got it!

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

My pick of the week is to get good exercise! Exercising helps my mind stay active, and I feel like it is always important to go outdoors and get some fresh air.
