Work on Hackerrank week of code 30. Work on the contest as early as possible. Embrace the difficulty of medium, hard, expert algorithms as possible. Julia may not have chance to come cross anything so challenge in short future, just enjoy the contest to the full extent.
One game, one style. People start to know me. Where I can, where I place. So I tries to make more changes.
Some people play not to lose. I play to win each and every second I'm on court. My inspiration is to go to big court to show what I have learned. You have to stay focus, and believe yourself to the end.

Julia, if you decided to join the code contest of week of code 30, you should work on each medium algorithm at least 2 hours. Now you ranking is looking so ugly around 7406/ 10,558, because you did not spend time on medium algorithms at all, you should not give up because you have to work on other projects. At least you should show some efforts to score 20 - 30 point above medium algorithms. Otherwise you will never be an outstanding player being able to score more than 100 points.

Julia, contest experience is not easy to go through, but you have to stay in the game.
You can choose easy way to spend the weekend, but you cannot push yourself to next level that way as a programmer.

How to prepare? From gold medal winner of ICPC
"From every 3 problems you solve, one should teach you something new. If not, choose them more carefully. Choose harder problems!
After you finish those 250 problems from SPOJ, you will have an overview of the main topics of competitive programming. By deeply understanding the logic behind basic algorithms, high-level algorithms will seem easy to understand. So you can rapidly leverage your knowledge."
