Return To Work: Some new resolutions

On Tuesday I am going back to work. I can’t wait. I’m really excited. I can’t wait to start building some AI again. AI has really missed me - and I have really, really missed AI. But I have some new resolutions.
  1. I will hydrate. I have been drinking a litre of lemon water every day first thing and even drinking two or three. This is the aim.
  2. I will finish on time. I will be out of there. 5, 5.30. I will remember that I am playing the long game. I will remember that I am running a long long marathon and that I need to be able to sustain over time.
  3. I will keep my room tidy. Yes, really. I am still mid declutter. But I have done a lot. Only a few more categories to go. When it’s all done and the stuff in the kitchen is done too then 
  4. I will keep my room tidy. I will really try to keep it clean. 
  5. With fewer possessions it should be easier to dust, hoover and wipe surfaces more often 
  6. I am getting an oil diffuser - and some oils especially ones for lung health - mint, lemongrass, tea tree and others
  7. I will stick to my raw foods lifestyle. My ideal breakfast is fruit or fruit juice, probably fruit juice, or maybe a smoothie. I will stick to mono meals of fruit for lunch unless I’m in London. Things like grapes. Oranges. Mangoes. Bananas. Peaches. Nectarines. Bananas. Persimmons especially. Figs. Play it by ear. Take it day by day. Dinner is meant to be some fruit and then a large rainbow salad with a nice dressing. 
  8. I will take supplements if I can.
  9. I will continue dancing. I will try and keep it a bit closer to home. I was running about a bit for dance classes. A bit too much.
  10. I will ground and gather my energy. Anyone who has ever seen me in London will understand this. I will stay grounded in my feet. I will stay rooted. I will know that it’s okay not to talk to everyone. I will know that it’s okay to set boundaries. I often wait for other people to decide what’s okay for me. No more. I decide what’s okay for myself from now on.

I got new rules I count ‘em.

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as ...

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…”

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…” Hey there. Still off work. Still tired. Lana del Rey released a new song. Thank God. My soul needed it so much.  I’m thinking a lot about everything. Thinking about where I went wrong. I just want to release. I want to release all the crap that is in my room. I’ve been trying to fully declutter since I was 21. I give away so much. I donate so much. But then I never quite finish. I never get to the click. And then I buy more. I don’t know what technique to use. There are so many techniques. The Marie Kondo method. I like to do kinaesthetic tests too. I like to pretend I’m packing up during the pandemic again and I have to make really quick decisions about what to keep and what to leave behind. That was no fun. But it was efficient. I just can’t release it. There’s so much stuff I can’t let go of. I don’t know how to. I don’t know how to. I suppose that’s a good metaphor for life. We accumulate stuff and we hold on to it....

Yosemite

Yosemite I'll never forget the first time I head the song Yosemite by Lana del Rey. I very nearly clicked away.  It was quite near the start of my Software Engineering journey, right near when I start learning the Front-End/Web Development. I was listening to Arcadia by LDR before, maybe twice, and then Blue Banisters came on. I nearly clicked away in the first 30 seconds but I forced myself to keep listening anyway.  I'll never forget how that song has made me feel. It became my song of 2022 even though I only discovered it in November. I can still listen to it every day and get that complete sense of wonder and of awe that I felt the first time that I heard it. That ending of the song is completely amazing, and it just completely just blows me away every time. "Withstanding all the time, changes, and seasons..." - LDR Concise Body Arrow Functions Why am I so bad at arrow functions? Whyyyyyyyyyyy?  Just kidding, I am beginning to get them. But why are they so hard? ...
