Hackbright... Week 3, not sure which day... I lose track

Last night, I got to meet two of my three mentors. Emily and Niranjani are great! Emily is a Hackbright alum and she knows what I'm going through right now. Niranjani is an engineer with an MS. My goodness, I feel so... uneducated? Not sure if that is quite the right word. Both are very nice and very supportive. I hope to gain a lot of wisdom from them both.

The past few days, we've been covering CSS and HTML. Both are much easier to 'learn' compared to Python and SQL. They just have their quirks in how to make them do what you want them to do. However, I am finding both far less confusing and far less frustrating than oh... dictionaries in Python. Which I really need to review again.

Javascript is up next. It seems relatively interesting/easy/probably my cluelessness is making me think it's easy... However, it's not doing something that I think it should do and I have no idea why it isn't working... I think I should go to sleep and figure it out tomorrow... in fact, that is what I shall do.

In talking with my fellow Hackbrighters and with Emily, I'm finding an interesting commonality. It seems that before Hackbright, a number of us could operate on 4-5 hours of sleep and still make it through our work days. However, at Hackbright that is not the case at all. We need a lot more sleep. I think a lot of us were bored and really needed to find something to get our minds stimulated. I do worry that I'm going to need more and more stimulation, but hopefully, it's not as drug addict seeming as it kind of feels. Interesting... to need more and more mental stimulation.

One thing I'm worried about is that I'm not feeling the same stress as some of my fellows because I know the application that I want to make. Although my application may not be the most appealing to companies, but I do have a market for it. Not sure I'll be able to make money from it... maybe from ads haha...

I am stressed though. My chin has a ton of zits on it as proof of my stress. And it's after midnight... yeah.. still not doing well on the sleeping thing...
