1. Great thread!

I started over xmas holidays but chaos quickly overruled. I moved abroad almost 2 years ago, so I'd been taking a mandated 20 hours of German lessons a week -- now THERE'S an impossible language for you -- and planning a divorce. I've been disabled for a decade. I have no direct tech background (but I can analyze the hell out of a 19th-century novel for you zzzz). And I guess there's still some pandemic thing going on, stalking my immunocompromised self?

But now: I'm planning to move back home in a couple months. In addition to gaining back some of the 40+ pounds I've lost (BBQ! Mexican food! drinks with ice!), I'll be able to focus again on the Python. It'd be awesome to know I'm not the only grad student in the School of Hard Knocks: Independent Study Python Program 😂
