Thoughts

• Update on 7 November 2021, the evening at the deadline before the quiz for this part closes. I'm really having trouble to set aside enough hours to study (read the articles, watch the video's, do the assignments, ...). Family life is quite consuming (and takes priority 😅) i.e. I only have a couple of hours available in the evenings (and then not even every day / night), so it's pretty hard. Anyway, let's keep going at it!
