GitHub approved my complimentary professional account! I of course, am not a professional programmer (yet), but it brings me joy just the same.
Happy Coding!
In February of 2018, I was denied admission to a Ph.D. program in Linguistics. As I was navigating the application process, I simultaneously revisited a dormant interest in computer science. In March I enrolled in a certified Computer Science class via HarvardX, which I completed four months later. I am at the beginning of a new phase in my life-long learning process and look forward to that which the future will inevitably deliver.

Intro to SQL: Querying and managing data
I'm so happy to be learning computer programming. The process is invigorating! I started the Khan Academy courses over Spring Break and managed to complete Intro to JS: Drawing & Animation in about 81 hours. I began the evening by finishing course 2 in the series (Intro to HTML/CSS: Making webpages), and finished it a few hours ago. Oh, and a pleasant bit of good news; GitHub approved my free Pro account! Thanks GitHub!!!

Reset <-- FreeCodeCamp
After thinking about it, I've decided to continue my work with FreeCodeCamp for now. I spent a good deal of time learning R, but for whatever reason, Python just appeals to me more than R does. Admittedly, R does have a steep learning curve, whereas Python is more straightforward. Either way, I don't have much of a portfolio, and FreeCodeCamp covers a good deal of design elements as well as coding, all while leading to a tangible portfolio.

Data Science Specialization = My New Focus
I am focusing entirely on Data Science for the next year. I really liked studying HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, SQL, C, and more, but alas I must focus. I must focus on one thing and learn to do it well. That thing is Data Science.
I recently received a scholarship that covered the $50.00 required to take The Data Scientist's Toolbox from Coursera via Johns Hopkins, for which I am truly grateful. However, it was just an intro to the comprehensive specialization and I finished what was presented as a four-week course in two sittings. I am trying to accept that it will all be a joyful uphill journey from here and just have fun with the process as a whole. Never before have I so thoroughly enjoyed the learning process.
The following excerpt is from a free lesson via DataCamp:
