I closed the freelance deal. But the payment has not come. I think it has been a week and he still has not paid the initial installment. I should not put so much weight on this gig. But. I am financially hurting. If the gig goes through I can pay my rent without selling my guitar or taking money out with my new :( credit card. I am honestly being to dependent on this deal. I need to look for more menial work. Dread. I will prevail.
In other light programming is going very well. I have been reading about design patterns. Design patterns have upped my game more than I could have imagined. They are putting together some of the random bits of theory I have read and heard about. I have already noticed a difference in my code. This makes me happy. I look forward to learning more about DP. Once I finish Head First Design Patterns I will move on to learning more about algorithms and data structures.
I am currently working on a small project. I am using it as a learning tool. So far it has been fun. I am wondering how far I will get with it. I want to implement the DP MVP on it. I am trying to follow MVP but it is hard. I somewhat get it but it has many components. I believe I am getting closer. I will try and conquer understanding MVP a few more times before I take a break and get through more Head First.
