Definitely, I had no time to write blog posts last month (and a half). I was preoccupied with so many things that I almost (poor me) forgot about my hobby. I tried to twitter about my status as much I could, but still my blog deserves a good and relatively long post. Here it is:
First, I am done with the finals for the semester, and luckily, back at home for the hoildays. It seems that final exams are getting harder every semester, despite the efforts and sleepless nights I spend.
I am happy enough to say that I got admitted as a visiting student at the Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany. The university offers an outstanding Computer Science curriculum, and I will be able to take courses, such as Advanced Databases Models, Systems Engineering and Advanced Data Analysis - ones that I would never be able to take at AUBG. I hope that it will be quite an experience, and I will FINALLY start using my German abilities. The semester starts on March 30, which will give me some time to concentrate on some of my projects and eventually find a short internship/training program. People are usually skeptical about internships during the winter months, but I am taking it as a challenge. One never knows about potential opportunities.
Last semester was a period of lost expectations as well. Despite the hard work, tons of coffee, and few hours of sleep, the Trinity project did not manage to win the start-up competition, that our team participated at. This is the time and place to explain what Trinity is. Trinity is a software as a service business solution that will allow small and mid-sized companies in Bulgaria and the region to optimizie their business operations at the cost of a monthly subscription. Despite the 3-rd place we got on the final, I am still eager to continue with the project and realize it at full scale. What struck me most, which was our teams' main concern towards our potential clients, was that the jury, partly consisting of Bulgarian business representatives, did not get it clear what we offer. Despite recent development, Bulgarian business still has a long way to go to get out of the "Paper Age". Luckily, I see this as an opportunity rather than a problem.
In general, last semester was one of hard work, lots of projects (equally related to Business Administration and Computer Science), lots of ideas waiting to be realized (starting NOW), and lots of coding (I really mean it). My first book will probably be called "Dreaming in C# with C++ nightmares".
I guess that my blog will be happy now. I gave it a brand new (pretty long, too) blog post. Now that I have more time, i will give my best to write more frequently.
