  Hello everyone,  I barely started feeling better yesterday, so I have been catching up on all the homework I need. While I was sick, I checked my canvas, and according to me, I did not have any major assignments due this week, but this morning, after my class, I checked, and I have a whole chapter due on Sunday for my Networking class. So, most of my day today was spent reviewing that chapter. Hopefully, I will have enough time to complete it before the end of the week since they have been scheduling me full-time hours at work. I decided to give my networking class a break, and I will barely start working on the project background due next week. During the days that I was sick, I did manage to find all ten needed sources, so that is one less thing to worry about. I will be working between my networking class and the background project the following days, and next week, I'll let you guys know how it went. Take care!

Hi everyone!  This week, I talked to Clare about the background project and what information I should add to my research. To my research, I will be adding statistics about cybersecurity threats and their impact on organizations & I will also be comparing different Machine Learning techniques. So far, I have five sources, so I need to expand on that because we need at least ten sources. Last week, I was feeling a bit off, and today, the sickness finally caught up on me. Hopefully, this headache will resolve by tomorrow, and my other symptoms disappear so I can concentrate on my following assignments. Hopefully, your semesters are going great. Have a good one!  

Hi everyone,  This week, I have been working on my research proposal; it was more complicated than I expected, especially when figuring out my dependent, independent & control variables. I am almost done with it and will upload it shortly after. There is not enough time in the day to do everything that has to be done, and sometimes, after a long day at work, I do not want to think about homework when I get home. With the constant changes in my work schedule, having to pick up other people's work, and stressing about homework, I have been feeling slightly off, so hopefully, it's not me getting sick. I hope all of your research proposals went well!

Hi everyone, After talking with Clare, I decided that I would focus my research on machine learning in cybersecurity this semester. Since the last two semesters, I have been focusing on machine learning for bacteria identification. It seems fair to continue with machine learning but focus on a different role. Learning how machine learning and Information Technology work together would be interesting since technology is a big part of our daily lives. Once I have more information on the subject, I will let you know how my project is going. Hopefully, all your projects and classes are starting on a good note. 

Hello everyone,  This semester, I will be switching projects. During the last two semesters, I worked with Josh using machine learning to identify bacteria. I will work with Clare this semester, but we still need to figure out the project. I am excited that this semester has started, and I am closer to getting my associate's in programming and systems analysis. Still, the anxiety of what comes next has been slowly progressing. I have been trying to focus on work and school, but I have been dealing with stress; I wish I were as carefree as my dog. I hope your guy's start of the semester has been smooth.
