Hey you! You made it. You made the journey with me to the last final week of class and the big Project 4 finale. It's been a long road and now it's almost time to say goodbye. This week, our instructors provided two elective classes, an Instructor AMA (Ask Me Anything, famous from Reddit) and Project 4 Presentations were due. On the very last day of class, we reflected with our classmates, pop champagne and discussed life after WDI with the Outcomes team. Let's go!

Welcome back to week 10 out of 13. We're almost there, folks. Thanks for sticking with me. As you could imagine, I am exhausted. Maybe you feel exhausted from just READING about the bootcamp? However, we're in the last stretch and there's no time to slow down now. This week is mostly composed of Labs, Voting due to it being Election Week, and a lot of tears and hugs. What doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger, right?! So here we go!

This week was Project 3 week. On Friday afternoon, we found out who was in our group and some people weren't too happy about their group assignments. Luckily, I was put into a group with two awesome classmates and we spent the entire morning setting group norms, figuring out our roles and responsibilities, and brainstorming ideas for our project!

This week, we talk APIs, AJAX, Building our own API, Firebase and the introduction to Project 3. Full warning: This is a beefy week so this post is pretty long. Let's get started!
