Introvert in Love with the World

It's been a minute since a log! TBH I've been in a funk recently but the days keep coming so I've been pushing through and being as productive as I can be.

Personal Things 🌱

I had my birthday a few days ago, I'm a big 27 🎉. Had a really chill day and went to brunch with family.

Had a loss in my family. It wasn't unexpected, but still a bummer. Spending some time remembering them and supporting family 💖

Went to a dance class with my roommate. It was a hip-hop class and this lanky bean looked awkward af but still had fun lol.

I had an interview for the reach job I applied for last week! It went okay, I'm hoping they advance me to the next round. If not, it was great experience and I'd totally apply to the company again once I get some more experience.

I tried to get through some TryHackMe SOC 1 courses, but I didn't really retain anything. It was just one of those days.

I did get through seven levels of OverTheWire. I'm loving it and am learning/reinforcing so much of my terminal knowledge. I had to look up some guides to get through some levels but I went back after and redid the seven levels to reinforce what I had learned.

Shinedown's album The Sound of Madness is still on repeat in my car.

I made a really good salmon and rice bowl today. I'm also trying to focus on making sure I eat vegetables and not just carbs with every meal... #adulting!

I forgot to log yesterday and I'm feeling a little lazy so another 2 day post it is!

Still watching these good doggos!

Got my hair cut! I've been going shorter every time and I love it.

I've been listening to more music as I do things around the house and it makes life just so much more enjoyable

Applied to three more jobs. One of them I'm really excited about -It's a reach, but it's in the field I want to end up in and I would have regretted not applying.

Completed lessons and labs on content discovery, subdomain enumeration, authentication bypass and IDOE vulnerabilities on TryHackMe.

Other Things 👾

I stopped by a cd store and a thrift store for some CDs. Got a good haul and listened to Shinedown's album The Sound of Madness on the way home. I forgot how much I loved that album as a tween!

I got a bottle of Snoop Dog's wine. I want to use it as a candle holder once it's empty lol. It's pretty good too and cheap.

Suga from BTS was in my dream last night. He's the only member that has been in them which I find really funny.

HAPPY NOVEMBER! Short log today since I still don't feel 100%

I'm off pet sitting for a few days.

Got my hair cut! I've been going shorter every time and I love it.

Applied to two jobs today!

Reviewed my notes from the past few lessons on TryHackMe.

I got some damn good empanadas on my way back from the salon.

Driving in Boston is really unenjoyable...

These dogs I'm watching are really cute :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Personal Things 🌱

To my flu shot and covid booster.

I bought a latte and bagel on the way home as a treat.

Got some last minute decorations for my home so trick-or-treaters knew we were giving out candy.

Completed the unit on Web basics on TryHackMe.

Just researched some jobs to apply for tomorrow.

Other Things 👾

The shots definitly hit me in the evening - I was literally under four blankets I was so chilled.

This was my first Halloween since childhood where I got trick-or-treaters! They were so cute! My roommates and I watched Casper and Megan as well.

Monday starting off strong!

Personal Things 🌱

Woke up at 7am. This has been a struggle for me the past few weeks, especially since I've been in a funk and sleep in. Super proud of myself and so enjoyed the extra hour and a half before starting the workday.

Did my laundry 🧺🫧

Met up with my friend for dinner at a Thai place we've never been before. It was SO GOOD and it was nice to catch up with her.

Completed a lesson on TryHackMe about HTTP. I started taking notes by hand to help me remember the material. I completed this section two months ago but am revisiting because I don't remember a lot of it. I'm open to any and all advice on retaining material because sometimes I truly have the memory of a goldfish!

Applied to a job I was excited about and got a rejection 30 mins later... I really like the company and their mission so I'm going to see if I can reach out to the recruiter and get some advice/feedback from them.

Other Things 👾

Gosh, it's finally so chilly out! I broke out a winter sweater today.

I completed four lessons of Mandarine on Duolingo. I need to add in some writing practice though.

Merging two days together because it really felt like I didn't do much this weekend. Writing this post made me realize that I actually did some stuff though~

Personal Things 🌱

Finished the book Massachusetts Book of the Dead

I FINALLY cleaned out and put away the last bin I had in my room from when I moved in. It feels so good to not have it cluttering the space in my small room.

Finished listening to Monstrilio on the train.

My AC unit is out of my bedroom window so I can finally get some nice, crisp fall air in my room!

I.T. Computer Girly Things 🤖

Reviewed the remainder of my current review chapter for CompTIA A+. I'll need to go over the chapter again to ace the practice test for it.

Did one lesson on TryHackMe on DNS in their Web Hacking Fundamentals course.

Other Things 👾

I carved a pumpkin with my family and I'm super proud of it! It was a chunky pumpkin too and I carried it home from the store all by myself. We made some amazing pizzas, too.

I found some Mandarin learning blogs and websites I'm going to try out this week. I think I might start doing Duolingo again too since it's free. I'm trying not to spend money on materials yet since I'm focusing on IT right now and might need to take breaks to focus on that.
