   Ever since my mom's death, I've been a little frazzled. In the #DataCamp program, I did a 22-hour "R Programming Fundamentals" track. At the end of it is an optional skill assessment.
   
   I drew a complete blank in 4 of the first 5 questions, so I didn't even finish it. #r-lang
   
   While I return to the Python tracks, I'll try to do some more R stuff on the side. Now that I'm sure I absolutely will not get the approximately 200 hours of #Python related coursework done before the end of December, so I will have to pick and choose which subsets to complete.

     In recent weeks, progress in the two #Coursera programs ( #Google #CyberSecurity and #IBM #Backend_Development ) and the #Udemy program ( #MySQL & #PostgreSQL database + #D-Lang + #PHP ) has completely stopped.
     
     There's also a mild to moderate cold that is being passed around the family here. We suspect that Grandson_3 brought it home from school. He's been coughing and sneezing off and on for about three weeks. Grandson_4 has been exceptionally clingy and whiny, though he has only sneezed / coughed occasionally. Grandson_5's nose has been running about the same length of time, with occasional coughing or sneezing. And I'm going through my third wave of it.
     
     So I think that's also part of what's going on educationally.
     
     The thing is, I need to finish these programs. In the case of DataCamp, bthall paid for a year's subscription. I want to complete as much as I can before the year ends (late December / early January). The Coursera programs are being funded by New York State;s Unemployment Insurance program, even though my benefits timed out almost a year ago. I have no assurance that they'll leave the funding open forever.
