Day 2 Of 100

Today was day 2 of 100 in my 100 days of code journey! I’m trying to code for roughly a half after I get home from work. However, I have to workout and eat dinner so I’m not sure if I’m actually hitting a full half hour but I am getting lines of code onto an editor and commited to github! Thats all that really counts. Today I added material Ui to my project for cleaner componets. I have also started fioguring out how I want to structure my project. Overall pretty productive for a few minutes after work.

100 Days of Code

I am officially starting my 100 days of code project! 

These past few weeks at work have really shown me I have so much to learn. I really want to build my front end skills. I’ve set a goal to create a personal app for myself to use in my morning routines.  I’ve updated my personal github  and you can all check it out here : https://github.com/katelynmiller2112

I’m going to post updates every evening about what I accomplsished here. Hopefully this will be a really good excersise for me.

Day 8 of 100

Happy new years eve!  Today was spent mostly getting myt bullet journal set for 2021. While this is a blog devoted to my adventures in the land of code, I’m also an avid bullet journaller! Tech is amazing but htere is jsut something about a pen and paper planner. I’m so far happy with how its going, I’ll post pictures of the finale result tomorrow. 

Today I really dove into fixing my merge conflicts 🙃🙃. They were part of the reason I havent really gotten a lot of work done. I was tired after work these past two days and didnt have the energy to dig into fixing them.  After fixing these merge conflits I dove deep into how I’m going to handle screen nav in my project. 

I hope everyone has a great New Years. Hopefully this year will be better for all of us!

Day 3 and 4 of 100

Yesterday I added some api stuff for my code and continued to clean up the UI of the code.  Day 4(today)  I’m working on adding a transition screen for my welcome screen to the landing page. I’m researching different react packages for handling it.  My thoughts so far is that I’m glad I am constantly reading and testing new things outside of work. Designing my own app is making me think a lot harder about the architecture of the project and I have to do more research. With the holidays coming up its going to be difficult to carve time out for this so I am planning on using my commute time for coding time. It takes me an hour and a half to normally get to work so that will give me plenty of time in to mornings to still work on this project.

I haven't posted in almost a year and I think I want to get back in the swing of things, blogging my academic, career and fitness goals. A lot of craziness has happened in my life and now i feel like i’m in a good place to finally pick back up this blog. 

Right now I’m learning German for  a study abroad semester in the spring! I’m really excited, so this blog is going to switch focus slightly to being both a German langblr and also a stem studyblr. I’m hopping this will keep me motivated to stay focused on my German and coding goals.

9.18.18 Yesterday was productive in some ways but not in others. I went to the gym at 7 and worked at which I’m really proud about! I’m making it a goal this semester to keep a consistent work out schedule. I then ran in to the issue of self motivating and getting work done. I think I just need to accept I don’t work well in my dorm and need to go to a secondary location to be productive. Today I’m going to try that out!

Today was a nice and slow lazy Sunday! I woke up at 8:30 and tried a cinnamon roll recipe. For my first try they came out really well! O then proceeded to clean up my dorm and head to library. I did a decent amount of reading for my social network analysis class. We are learning python and related libraries in this class and it’s really interesting!
