I survived Sunday. in my neighborhood....you can't imagine, the cacophony of noises...the kids..oh, so many kids in my neighborhood, who think it's perfectly fine to be screaming at the top of their lungs. Parents that don't care. Kids, their friends, kids from other blocks. I think one of the major motivations for coding, is the belief that tomorrow is going to be a better day.

And this idea that the best days are coming is something that a study based on 30 years of studying the rich and wealthy believe. For more fun reads check this link. Over at The New York Times, I was checking out houses in Westchester, a cute stone house --in the suburbs, nice and quiet, surrounded by trees and green stuff --that's where I can totally see myself. Just have to get out of my 'hood. It's just not doing it for me anymore.

In any case, I've been ploughing through a Python course on edx.org . Spent two weeks doing that and getting back to Free Code Camp's bonfires. I was totally excited last night as I managed to get 3/4 of the answer on my own until I got stuck at one point. Totally excited that my brain is starting to "get it." Back to coding now.

I also spent like a week reviewing html\css and Bootstrap. I was geeking out over successfully implementing a Google font design on my website. I also found some really cool (and free) icons that I can install on a website, which can come in handy if I'm going to be creating website (for $$$).

Here's what I have so far (it's a work in progress):

Just 6 more bonfires to go! Hope to complete 3 more this week and 3 next week.
