I just thought I would pop into this blog and update it. It's almost like an online diary of mine, I know hardly anyone comes on here but I kind of like it that way.
Anyways, I'm still unemployed but I decided in January that I was going to use this time until September to learn web designing and coding so that in September I can start applying for jobs. I know it's a risk, the longer you are unemployed the less chances it is to get a job. But I am ready to take that risk and I know that in the end something will give. I will carry on improving on my skills and growing.
Where I am right now - Today I just opened a fansite design website, so I will be doing wordpress themes for fansites and hopefully, I will be able to at least make a little bit of money and gain more experience.
For me to be able to make a wordpress theme is crazy to me because I remember when I started I couldn't even create a div and I attempted and failed to make a wp theme about 5 or 6 times. So to finally have a website that is responsive to me is amazing. I can't believe it. Even though it's a small thing. I am proud of myself.
What I want to do in the future? - I want to learn more Javascript and PHP. So that I can create more stuff and be more productive. I also want to be able to make a tumblr theme and a blogger theme. But also, I want to start creating more professional websites instead of fansites so that I start building up my portfolio. So when I do apply for jobs I will have something to show them.
Korean
I did say I would be learning Korean, I am still learning and since I have been putting more of an effort to learning the language. I have picked up quite a few words. I know the Korean alphabet now. This includes the vowels as well. I also know the numbers 1-10 plus 20 and 100.
Plus, I know maybe 30 - 40 words.
I actually find it fun to do and learn the language, I use a variety of sources to learn, from 2 apps, a website, podcast and just watching korean shows without subtitles and then with. I only did this with Produce 101 because I couldn't wait but I picked up a lot of words from that.
I am going to carry on learning and hopefully in a year or so I will be quite good at it.
