Something that interested me this week

I finished writing my posts for Blogvent this past week! In case you missed it, it's an "advent calendar" of sorts that I started doing to blog daily in December. Here's my wrap-up post of all of the blogs I wrote this year! If you're on Bluesky, there's a hashtag where you can see others who participated as well. Blogging isn't dead!

It's really hard to believe that 2024 is ending already. It was a really big year of changes for me personally and professionally (...I will probably blog about it, heh), and I'm excited for more in 2025.

So, that being said... SEE YOU NEXT YEAR! Heheheheh.

This week's question:
Given a year, return the day of the week for New Year's Day of that year.
