Looks like something interesting would be happening soon, I look forward to the graduation.

did you pay to get certificate??

I just finished the ALX's "virtual assistant" course and aced. Was fun all through. The connects are so worth it. Imagine meeting people from all parts of Africa. Was looking at putting in for the Software Engineering programme but I think I may suffer a burnout. So clueless right now. Been learning Java and C++ but stuff won't just stick, maybe because I suck at Maths, I can't say.

I'll just stick with proceeding with my Product Design lessons jeje.

Please I'm in the recent va cohort that just started, can we connect?

Thank you. I have sent you an email.

Feels like it's been ages since I came here. How has everyone been? Lately, I feel like my work got more stressful, the projects from alx are not nice either. It is even more tiring because I'm combining ALX SE and VA.

I have been trying to catch up on C as soon as I can, today was PLD (peer learning days) which was an opportunity to rest my head but I couldn't. I studied like my life depended on it. This week's milestone project for virtual assistant is quite much and I haven't done much.

Today, we took a survey that was supposed to prepare us for the ROOM. No matter how stressed and tired I am, it makes me more motivated.

By the way, I seriously recommend anyone going for this program to get computer glasses. To avoid stressing your eyes too much since you will be staring at the screen a lot of times, I plan to get one soon because my eyes have been hurting a lot lately, it gets sensitive with light and if it gets too dark. Please protect your eyes and health. Lately, I have been looking for tea or drugs to keep me awake at night because after getting home from work, I'm usually too tired to study but I changed my mind and taking drugs or any tea. Health is wealth.

Hello, thank you so much for your thread. It's really helped in guiding me for preparing towards the August cohort.

Please I'll really appreciate if you can send a new link to join the group. The last one is reset. Thank you

Am also interested in being added to the group please, my batch is also the august 15th batch. Thanks for your help

Hi bro. I am a teacher and have been accepted for the software engineering program. Please advise me accordingly. How can I achieve 14 hours per day? I desire to learn but can't survive without a present source of money.

Anonymous6o6:



When you're done with Harvard and still want to continue then you can try ALX. Looking forward to hearing from you

I can conclude based on this (as my premise) that you are fulltime on this study and may not have an 8 to 4pm day Job. This may mean that full time job guys can't succeed in this one

Anonymous6o6:
Gawd!!
I'm so stressed out even though we haven't started C yet

Omo the shell project stressed me oh

It got to a point where all the tasks I have done on my sandbox were nowhere to be found. I tried using the sandbox on my phone and I was able but on the system, I couldn't find them.

I ended up using Termux (A terminal but the phone version) it is really good.

Copied the ssh link, and did the project. Project I started since Morning, I just finished it. I wanna close my eyes and sleep but know tomorrow's project will deal more on advance shell, I will be studying overnight.

I have 9 to 5 job and I am progressing

That's all I needed to hear. Can we link up sir. I need this badly

My job is 8am - 8pm
I try to shuffle my free time in studying.

How do you achieve the 14 hours daily? That's the answer that will excite my electrons

You won't be paying for anything.

That strongly depends on you. I don't know your schedule but if you are willing to do it then I don't it is impossible.

From now on, I will be updating this thread like writing a diary (more details about my programming journey).

Lately I have a lot going on, the VA Program (virtual assistant program), my job(my boss has been acting like a monitoring spirit lately), C Programming language and it's project.

I was feeling too overwhelmed from reading many sources for a particular topic, Luckily, I stumbled upon Neso Academy while reading on "Pointers", the video was so detailed that I really enjoyed it!

Silly me decided to start all over again in studying C using Neso Academy, it was fun! But it slowed my progress, I didn't have time to read for the present materials enough and had to turn to my peers for help. But I didn't like that and so, I wrote down the topics out on my notebook, watching the particular contents I found a bit complex and practicing using Sololearn on my phone.

I'm almost done and it is exciting, but because of my dedication for C, I haven't done this week's milestone on VA and there's a lot to do. Last night I kept thinking of a method to keep me awake into the night, I thought of coffee but I wouldn't want it to affect my health because I intend to take it every night! Having gotten advice from friends and colleagues, I decided to sleep early and wake up between 11-12am.

You don't have to be online for 14hrs, as long as you do your projects on time! At the beginning, it would be easy but from the second week, you would understand why you need that much time.

Meanwhile I already explained it before, I study at my spare time at work and when I get home at night, I do the rest, if any.

This lays everything to rest. I think I can cope. I am a Further mathematics/physics teacher. Somedayd work can be tasking but I think it's time to break even. Thanks @annonymous. I wish I could join your WhatsApp group. Your energy is highly attractive

Hi mate, what do you think about starting afresh. I was among the February cohort but along the line, my PC spoilt so I couldn't catch up again. Do you think I can still join the August cohort.
PS: I haven't been disqualified tho.

Yeah you can but you still use a different email or try the mail you used before.

I was watching the June cohort graduates of last year and I gotta say, It gave me this nostalgic feeling to work harder, I heard the graduates were 320+ out of thousands that registered!

Meanwhile, I'm excited that tomorrow is PLD and we won't be having any projects for the weekend. No matter how difficult the projects might be, lean on your colleagues for help, it doesn't mean you're dumb, practicing collaboration and team work will help you go far in ALX.

Oops I almost forgot to post this.

Aiit bro. I will let you know how it goes

Please should we register for informatical training , and the shell,git,emacs,vim can we learn it on YouTube before the class on August
Anonymous6o6 please can i connect with you am a new member here ,for August cohort

Yeah, that's a good idea

So, I got accepted this morning. What I want to do now is to prepare ahead of the class. I'll be starting with the C programming since I'm already familiar with linux, git and vim.

For next week's project (Friday to be precise), we will be working in pairs! We're expected to chose pairs or alx will pair you with anyone.

Mehn... I'm having headache thinking about it, mostly because I'm behind in C. Well... Let's just see how it goes.

You need to familiar yourself with emacs, vim, shell commands before going for C language.

Hello Tracy, I must commend you for this thread. I was accepted this morning for the August cohort. I did a quick google search to get people's review about the programme and I stumbled on this thread. I've read it from the beginning, and I must say that I've gotten the encouragement I need to start this program cos I was initially contemplating on how I'd be able to combine my job and this rigorous but promising program. You're really strong, combining two ALX programs plus your 8am - 8pm job, plus using your phone. Girl! How can I not be motivated? If you can, then I too can!
Thank you once again and for the updates, please keep them coming.

PS: I would love to connect with people in same cohort or higher, so we can be accountability partners throughout the duration of this programme.
