So heavy I fell through the Earth, part 6

I am enjoying my morning off. This half day is the first annual leave I have taken since Christmas. I was so worried about work last night but this morning I have a plan. Prioritisation.
I have a 1:1 with my manager this afternoon 
So that is almost my top priority - finishing up the goals I was writing to show her
However before that I just need to tick “merge” on a PR so that is an even bigger priority 
However after that I have some conflicting priorities 
Okay no I don’t
My steps are to work on my ticket 
  • Merge pull request
  • WRITE GOALS FOR THE WEEK ON MIRO BOARD
  • WRITE GOALS FOR THE WEEK IN MY PLANNER TOO !!! !!!
  • Finish goals to show manager 
  • Work on my ticket - organise my ten trillion notes on context
  • Potentially read some context docs too in fact yes please definitely definitely do. I must always go to the docs when I encounter something new. When I encounter something new the docs must be my first port of call to see how they summarise and explain things
  • Need to log out some things in my codebase to see what they do. Why does that scare me idk
  • I need to finish writing the accessibility docs for my department for web accessibility and manual testing 
  • But I should schedule that but when bro probably next Friday but that seems late
  • I am meeting my beloved mentor to work on PR reviews on Tuesday 
  • I am sure I have other things to do too
  • Oh yeah shit on Friday am I am meeting with someone to do TDD

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? ...
