I did it! I sent the application off, received confirmation and finally have started on a paved code road with Coder Academy.

Needless to say I'm worried, excited, certain and yet uncertain of this decision... although that may be a bit of pessimism that covid has plagued all of us with. I think it's perfectly normal to harbour a mixture of feelings at such a time. Overall, I'm happy!

Hitting the refresh button at a later point in life is scary but I made a decision that sitting idly is scarier so am taking a chance and going to give it my best shot.

The first week so far has been great! I'm in familiar territory with HTML & CSS and learning important things such as what makes the semantic elements in HTML so important. I can certainly see there is still plenty to learn and understand, especially with CSS and understanding how things such as pseudo-classes work and how the styles cascade.

While learning new content, I'm also learning to learn again. It's a humbling experience that I'll no doubt need to be acquainted with as my new life as a developer is going to be a never ending learning journey 👩🏻‍💻.
