New Year New Goals

I feel good about this year. Like nothing I aim to do is too distant. Last year I focused on personal community centered/philanthropic goals and achieved each one. I’m proud of the work I did and the people I helped, but now I’d like to use this time to strictly focus on my technical skills. I turned my old laptop into a Linux machine by creating a bootable USB stick. The process took literal HOURS for the OS to download onto my USB. I deleted Windows and I plan to master Linux (or at least gain intermediate skills for the time being) with my new machine. I also took a big leap and registered for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam. I have exactly 66 days to prepare. I’m nervous, but excited. I’m using Stephane Mareek’s Udemy course and practice exams to prepare. I’ll document what I’ve learned each day to keep the information fresh and follow-up with blog posts. I’ve set up my AWS account. There’s nothing left but to do it.
