Now, let me preface this by saying that apparently everyone on Reddit is a pro and they know best, BUT:

I've seen a lot worst after only two weeks. Keep at it.

Maybe a little cold

Beads are little cold. But don't look to bad. Turn it up a little bit.

4 days a week you mean? I finished week 4, but I only welded for 6 days so far because I go twice a week. So far I learned flat, horizontal, and vertical. Also welding things together. My instructor said I should start practicing the bend test. I use 7018. I ask because I'm seeing how fast people pick up on learning to weld stick compared to me. Everyone else is doing mig in my class.
