Continued Education
I'd like to use my free time to continue my education and enhance my skillset. I need to hold myself more accountable in the evenings to review coursework and to complete courses. Currently two classes with edx that I am working on: Super-Earths and Life CS50's Introduction to Computer Science Both are at less than 10% completion. I will dedicate 60 minutes per day to coursework and I will track weekly. I will post a course log with timestamps to keep track.
