Week three

It's been a good week. It didn't feel as long as the last two. I guess I'm starting to settle into the routine of being a student again.

So far, the PHP lessons have been manageable. It's mostly things like, "create a variable and echo it inside a string". Nothing too difficult, though, I know we're just scratching the surface. I can't help but feel a bit nervous about what's coming next. We've already been given extra assignments, and I've tried working through them even though we haven't covered everything yet. The jump in difficulty, however, feels a bit overwhelming.

That said, I did manage to create a rock-paper-scissors game (with a little help from ChatGPT). I made it into Sheldon's version: rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock. That made it less intimidating, and a lot more fun!

This week, we also had our second Digital Design lesson. Last week, we got familiar with Figma, and now we've been assigned to create our own personal logos. I find it challenging, because it begs the question: "Who am I?" Moreover, what kind of typeface and colorscheme feel like "me"? I usually enjoy design work and used to love spending hours in Photoshop, but this assignment feels so personal, it’s a bit daunting. Still, I’m confident I’ll figure it out. I'll just have to lower my standards and make it "good enough".
