I loaded up $3000 on my credit card. I am all in. I am locked in to completing a mountain of pre-course work and paying the other $15000 by February 29. I am ramping up my momentum into a full transformation.

While struggling through the sprint assignments, I scheduled my 1st check-in and 2nd technical interview, anticipating that I’d reach the required benchmarks in time. Passed the check-in. Flew through the technical interview with the same guy who interviewed me the first time just few weeks ago. I scheduled my 2nd check-in and am working on the final sprint to build a stand-alone social media webapp project. There are certain advanced concepts that I am grasping out of a sense of urgency. I feel the intellectual acceleration and it is distorting my sense of time. What feels like weeks is only days, what felt like an indecipherable enigma of life yesterday is now a fundamental truth upon which everything is built.

I haven’t had a minute to recognize that my transformation is well underway. It started when I submitted my payment to Fulcrum. I haven’t been the same since. As I arrange for payment of the rest of tuition, my desire to surrender my mind to the Hack Reactor experience is burning through each line of code I push to GitHub. I am ready to submit to the humility of learning.
