This coding school thing...
Is hard.
Biggest obstacle is going from retail and working until 10-11pm, with a lot of socialization, a bunch of down time and not using my brain that much, and being pretty physically active and generally in uncomfortable chairs or awkward standing positions etc.
To
Waking up 3-4 hrs earlier than normal. Focusing on content for 7 hours (but thank fuck I get an hour lunch break), working with people and being collaborative in a group, diving into topics unknown to me. Feeling mentally tired and too drained to put brain power into decisions. Maybe studying a bit after class.
I'm not used to this and I'm not sure how to recharge/refresh my mind.

Re: This coding school thing...
there's definitely a trade off, you won't be physically tired after work but you will be mentally and it can suck just as hard

I prefer this compared to what I used to go through. Some days I would be both

Try to visualize large piles of cash, that may help you to keep going.

Re: This coding school thing...
there are youtube ads i get sometimes for some coding place in dublin. the ads are so dumb
one starts with a graduate saying that since he has done the course his life has done "a complete 360"
one starts with a different graduate saying coding is something you either get or you dont - this is at the start of an advertisement for a course in coding
i was never considering doing this course, but given that they are selling a course in teaching something that is heavily logic dependent, it is remarkable that they released these as ads. i can only imagine how terrible the course is. it makes me feel sad that people might put their hopes in a course like this
