What did you do this past week?
This past week was somewhat relaxing for me, as there was not too much stuff due, since phase 3 was just due. I went out with some friends to see the new Demon Slayer movie was a nice change of pace and fairly relaxing.

What’s in your way?
Nothing currently, but it's just interesting how the school semester is ending so soon. I am not sure if I should be excited or anxious about the summer to come. I just feel like I do not know what will happen in the future, which makes me anxious.

What will you do next week?
Next week, we will probably finalize the website and prepare to present it. I will also start preparing for some finals that I have and catch up on some missed lectures.

If you read it, what did you think of the What Happens to Us Does Not Happen to Most of You?
I was very disappointed in the article, but also fairly surprised as well. I do not understand why some people feel compelled to act the way they do even when it is so frowned upon. I hope that more diversity and education can change the behavior in the workspace in the coming years.

What was your experience of joins and refactoring? (this question will vary, week to week)
I thought that these SQL queries were a lot of fun to work with, especially seeing how powerful they were. I also really enjoyed doing the exercises, which seemed like neat little puzzles to solve. SQL truly is very powerful, and clearly a very useful skill to have in the future.

What made you happy this week?
As I said before, I got to go see the Demon Slayer movie in theatres with a couple of friends, and this was the first time I had gone to the theatre in over a year. I also am trying to catch up on some sleep, however, changing your sleep schedule is more difficult than I thought.

What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
I really recommend taking short breaks to keep up good productivity. I always like to play a game of sudoku after I have worked for a couple of hours to refresh my brain.
