# Starting JavaScript (Again), This Time in Public

Hi, I’m Bimarsh, a 2nd semester CSIT student from Nepal.

I’ve been around computers since I was a kid. In school I learned QBasic, C, HTML and CSS, and I’ve started JavaScript a few times too. I got as far as objects on [javascript.info](http://javascript.info), and then I stopped.

I enjoy programming, but somewhere along the way I always get lost. To be honest, I don’t think I lack motivation. What I lack is discipline. I’ve started many things and left them when I got bored, I procrastinate a lot, and I try to learn everything at once.

I don’t want that to happen again, so this time I’m learning in public. Writing here every week makes me accountable to something outside my own head.

### **The plan**

- 1 hour of JavaScript every day for the next 4 weeks
- One small project each week: a marks calculator, a helper-functions file, a to-do list, and a page that fetches data from an API
- A short post here every Saturday about what I learned and where I got stuck
- All my code on GitHub, pushed regularly
- A planned break during exams, then a proper restart
- One rule: never miss two days in a row

**The honest part**\
My exams are about four to five weeks away, and I’m preparing for C++ and other subjects alongside JS. If I miss days, I’ll say so in these posts.

**<mark>Why I’m doing this</mark>**\
I want to become a software developer, land an internship, and eventually do work that makes me happy, the kind of work little me imagined when I was first introduced to programming. I know that takes months of showing up, not one burst of motivation. This blog is my record that I showed up.

**What’s next**\
Next Saturday: Week 1, objects and arrays.

> If you’re also learning to code, or you’ve been stuck in the “start, quit, restart” cycle, I’d love to hear how you stay consistent.

See you next Saturday.
