My experience at Turing has been very different than what is portrayed on the movie. There are a lot of women in the group,
enough to make me feel comfortable when I come to program. And the women are killing it. There are a lot of role models for me
to emulate. 

The role I play at Turing is a woman programmer who is encouraging everyone around me. Don't exclude! I really liked the movie. It made me think about how I wasn't encouraged to be a programmer when I was growing up, even though
I love to create websites and I loved the new tech. 

The parallel between Etsy and it's relationship with Hacker School is similar to Turing. I like that companies can see a problem and use places like Turing to fill a gap.

Stress


Ways to deal with stress...

  1. Go walk
  2. Talk to friends/mom
  3. Margaritas
  4. Paint pictures
  5. Go on a run, crossfit, work out somehow

What brought you here?

    I came to Turing so I could fully understand how to program. I've always wanted in on the secret of the language 
    that runs so much of the work.

1. Give one difference between Modules and Classes.

  Classes can change their states, Modules cannot. 


2. Defining Modules

  Modules hold methods that can be used across different classes.

Growth Mindset


  Growth mindset is most effective for me when there's no timeline. Projects sometimes encourage fixed mindset when they're rushed. 
  Reaching out to people helped with that sense of utter dispair. Friends, peers and mentors help eleviate that tension.
  
  The deadlines encourage fixed mindset and that sense of desperation. Not a big fan. Maybe I should have moved to a different
  group, but too late now! I think I only tackle things that are in my wheelhouse and it's difficult because this is so far
  outside of what I know.

This exercise is intended to help you assess your progress with the concepts and techniques we’ve covered during the week.

For these questions, write a short snippet of code that meets the requirement. In cases where the question mentions a “given” data value, use the variable given to refer to it (instead of re-writing the information).

Use single (`) and triple backticks (```) to container code snippets.



Define a class called PizzaOven which has a method cook_pizza which returns the string "mmm 'za".

FLOATS AND INTEGERS

* What’s the difference between a float and integer?
	
	Integer is a rounded whole number. A float includes the whole decimal  number.

* What’s are the similarities and differences between BigNum and FixNum?

	BigNum is a really big number, like 23894720340193423. Fixnum is smaller? They’re both integers.

First thought, Turing has exposed beams and walls. 


Second, I wish Turing let me bring my dogs.


Third, we are crammed into Turing like seamstresses in Bangladeshi shirt factories.


Fourth, I think this was a movie starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway.
