CTP Skill Center

As always, Tiye had a wonderful day in class. Today I mainly worked on my portfolio. I’m really happy with the background and theme of my slides. I will practice what to say in my recording to present naturally, smoothly, and shortening the text written on the slide. Creating my portfolio also makes me sad because I feel I am leaving class so soon and will miss the class assignments. I am definitely looking forward to SJS, I just tend to miss things.

Also, I’m starting to feel ready actually to have a job. I need the income I so desperately to continue reintegration to society instead of hiding in my cave corner (though I consider my cave corner luxurious, I need realistic luxury to realistically hit my goals).

Today I worked on Phase 2 of Project Inception. I successfully created a new Bodhi Linux VM and cloned it. Next, I will create another VM with Debian Linux.

Today, I felt prepared overall getting to class, since I worked on my portfolio presentation and my accountability assignment over the long weekend. I also submitted my Skillsoft, which was a course on Data Entry in Excel 365.

This week, it looks as though the Elective we are working on is the portfolio presentation itself. I spent class-time today refining the language slightly and making a few adjustments to make the graphics more clear. I think it’s important that my stories make sense and are also concise so I can get through the actual presentation.

Other than that, I want to prepare for my mock interview with Mechanics Bank, so I’m glad I’m getting ahead on those assignments due Thursday!

Today we worked on project inception round 2. I worked mainly on phase 2 and finished both parts, so now I’m working on phase 3 of the project inception. Tomorrow we will do tech articles first thing; after that, we will continue working on the lab, and Thursday is for the mock interviews.

As the first official day of CTT after orientation, I continued to work on Project Inception. I figured out the issue that was plaguing my Bodhi VM was that I had a messed up boot order. Then I moved onto setting up a Debian VM. Unfortunately, I forgot to clock in on homebase until 4:30 today…. I’ll have to double down on making sure that doesn’t happen again. Other than that, things went smoothly. I managed to complete Phase 2 of the lab.
