New updates are available.

As the new semester started in September my progress on codecademy lost its pace greatly. What is more, codecademy gave me very upsetting news:



As they were going to make this change on September 26th, they expected me to complete my course until then. What are the odds of me (who found herself in midst of academic intensity) doing that? Therefore, I must say that unfortunately all my progress on coding has been interrupted, or let's say delayed until further notice. (I am a huge fan of codecademy, I totally appreciate their efforts and by no means I blame them for my laziness. I will try the new version and probably post on my experience comparatively soon enough)

Well, losing one side-project does not mean I will sit still. I love to juggle different tasks and activities. Of course, I was going to end up jumping in a new initiative. With that character (flaw) I have taken on a new responsibility for this year (as if I did not already have a lot on my plate) and I have decided to finally initiate a dream project I've had ever since I started working at my current university.

I have always been intrigued to performing arts: theater, dance, music and I have always been in such enterprises. That's why it had always been on my mind to found a drama club. The year I started my job at his university (2013) is the same year when the film version of one of my all time favorite novels: "The Great Gatsby" by dear Scott Fitzgerald. I could not keep but think how magical it would be to put this extraordinary work as a play on stage. And finally I am doing it, so say hello to my new initiative.


I am well aware that it will be an overwhelming experience, though. For that very reason, I convinced to of my colleagues (the very ones I had convinced for coding, either they are susceptible or I am mesmerizingly convincing) and we have officially started to work on our Drama club.

I will be posting more on what we have done so far. Try to keep up!



Hell yeah! I am a drama queen, but in the nicest way possible :)
