2021 Updates
Mar 29, 2021Hey there, it's been a while since I haven't updated the blog, but here I am with a few updates. 📰
I started my first semester at Georgia Tech in January with a class in Human Computer Interaction, and I gotta say that so far I am truly enjoying the material and how the class is structured since it makes the remote learning experience much more enjoyable.

There's a lot of writing 📝 involved with this class as each single week we're required to write an 8 pages paper related to the course content we're learning, but I think that overall having to write this much was helpful for me in that it gave me structure and room to properly organize myself with my full-time job at Cloud Academy.
Having less time at hand paradoxically makes you value the time you have much more, and this helped me establish a good routine to take care of both HW and my daily work as a FE Engineer (also WFH is a boost in this scenario as there is no commute).
Anyhow, some of the main key takeaways from the HCI course are:
Hope you found these points somewhat helpful/insightful, and I will come back with more takeaways once the class is over in May so stay tuned for that! ✨
