We left out of DFW at 11:30pm on Thursday night, I had turned in my paper at 2pm earlier that day. It wasn’t perfect and was actually a little wordy and the video was 17 minutes. As we were driving through Mississippi at 8am my watch buzzed, I took my eye of the road for a split second to see what the message was and my eyes keyed in on two words, you passed…
I am now officially a college graduate!!!
Bachelor of Science, Data Management/Data Analytics
I’m currently working on cleaning up my paper and need to throw together a video to turn in for my project. I’m almost there. Still need to get hours in at work and a quick project that I need to complete and set up the VPN, and pack. So we’re going to be a little busy. T-minus 28.5 hours until go time. If I manage my time it will be smooth. Booked into GA and Wilmington already. It will be an expensive journey for sure but I sure feel like traveling.
I’m almost done with the rewrite of the project to include commentary. Then I just have to write it up, do a video, submit and wait…
It’s still warm but the heat has broken and its no longer 100 or above. It feels good to have rain again and watch the earth cool down.
This is the last week I’ll be working for a bit. I’ve got task two turned in and waiting the results on it, I’ve begun task three and then it’s over. I’m so tired of school, what a relief it will be to have it over and done with.
So yesterday I completed my Udacity Data Analyst Nanodegree, they were nice enough to give me a link to the certificate. I’ve submitted my scores and unfortunately I was denied a clean countdown because there’s no integration between Udacity and WGU, so here’s what my degree program looks like now:
So one of the things that I’ve been doing to keep stress at a manageable level is to exercise. It started with just walking and then got to lifting weights and lastly, and most recently, situps. Situps are the bane of my existence, I actually bought an inverted bench to help with them.
I’m at the cusp of being finished with my degree, I’m working on an unsupervised machine learning class, and when I finish that there is only the 4 credit capstone project to knock out. With any luck, I’m finished by September.
Well it was just at the rec center but it was 5k and completed in 54:39. Total transparency, I did have to take a nap in the afternoon because of this.
Roger’s memorial was today. Mom, Cortney and I went, it was nice to get a chance to remember him. Although I didn’t know him well, he was one of the great ones. Truly one who wanted to help others. And during the memorial, I was struck that the more you assist and aid and help others the more resources you seem to be given to do so. There’s probably something to that.
