It's not a language course. It's basically a linux administration course. We will be on computers and he will be watching me execute commands.

Ugh, that seems like an awful lot of pressure. It seems that should be something that could just be handled by, well, a computer program...

That does seem like a lot of pressure for something that you would think could be handled by a computer program. Well, maybe unless the course is preparing you for a job where you'll have to work with clients breathing down your neck? And he's trying to emulate that or whatever? I'm sorry, it sounds rough.

Well I finished watching the lecture videos, read the chapter (er, skimmed the chapter as it was borrrrring!), took the quiz (got 10/10 yay) and wrote my discussion post this morning. Now I just need to do the lab, which is looking over samples of several metamorphic rocks and recording their properties in a table. My favorite piece in this module is the mica schist. It's so sparkly and pretty!

Better to get used to the pressure now. Technical interviews are very stressful. I've interviewed with Google and Amazon and I do not care to ever repeat that experience. (If that sounds like a brag, it's not. I failed spectacularly at those interviews.)

Hi Couch,

Is it usual to feel overwhelmed when good things happen? Had a couple of successes recently, and I'm kind of struggling to hold them, in the midst of everything else.

I feel that way. I think success can be overstimulating.

I agree. Or we may feel we don't deserve it. Or figure "OK, now what is going to go wrong to balance out the success?"

I'm in a bitter mood today. Everything is irritating me. I feel like a huge jack*** for not going to wedding we were invited to. My kids are being spawns of satan today and I rather not make a huge scene on someone's special day.

Is your house drafty? Maybe you need to invite strangers from your local utility company into your home to do an energy usage and leakage appraisal.

I would consider it an act of solidarity, as the apartment maintenance guy will be entering my abode sometime in the next couple of weeks to modify my window AC unit, which i always find quite stressful. Share the pain!

Haha just kiddin ya.

My house is brick and was built in 1903 so - it is drafty even though stuff has been updated. I have plaster walls. I will break down soon and just turn on the heat - I have a boiler so it involves bleeding radiators etc
