Tasks Completed / Hurdles Faced:
I started school last Thursday which made it difficult to attend any meetings / trainings because all the timings overlapped but I was able to watch the recordings and get up to speed with all the work
Time management became a little difficult but I was able to finish all the deliverables for last week and hope to complete everything for this week
I figured out the issue I was having with the Logic Gate Challenges through Office Hours and completed it on my own
