“What was I thinking?” — this sentence crossed my mind a few times in the past two weeks. “Why on Earth did I think I could learn how to code?”. But then something clicked in my head, I figured the solution to an exercise and I was back at the “I am a God” frame of mind. These weeks were a bit of a rollercoaster, let’s put it like this.

But let’s start with day one. Green Fox Academy (GFA), where I chose to study programming, doesn’t want to teach you just that. The people there know how intense the next few months are going to be and how important it is to get along well with our colleagues, so we spent the whole of the first day doing team building activities to get to know each other — all supervised by our assigned psychologist. To finish the day — and because we are in the party city of Budapest — the group headed to one of the ruin pubs to say “Egészségére” (that’s “cheers” in Hungarian!).
