The quiz is available on this post so feel free to give it a shot! Some things that I&#8217;m most looking forward to learning about (either by myself or through an appointment) are graphic design, infographic tools, and maybe 3D modeling? I have blender on my laptop and my plan was to teach me how to use it, so I might use that as an excuse to finally make the jump and do it. Either way, any kind of digital design I&#8217;ve always found interesting, and while it might not be something I want to go into in the professional world, I think having a proficiency in it will prove a good use of my time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The category I created to start organizing my posts is titled \u201ctraining updates\u201d, as I hope to put all [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[43],"class_list":["post-100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-training-updates","tag-spring-2023"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dkc.umw.edu\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dkc.umw.edu\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dkc.umw.edu\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dkc.umw.edu\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dkc.umw.edu\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dkc.umw.edu\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dkc.umw.edu\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dkc.umw.edu\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dkc.umw.edu\/training\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
