Four-Day Stack (Everything Done So Far)

DSA / Leetcode

  • Problems solved: 217, 242, 347, 36, 128, 217 (again), 238, 125, 167, 15, 704, 74, 153, 121, 11.
  • Some were clean solves; all count as work done.

Math + ML Foundation

  • Watched videos:
    • Chapter 1
    • Chapter 2
    • Chapter 3
    • Chapter 4
  • Topics covered:
    • Linear Regression
    • Multiple Regression
  • Slow foundational material building a base for later work.

Today Specifically

  • Completed a workout after a long break.
  • Made a GitHub commit and marked it as Day 1 of the streak.

The Dream I Didn’t Ask For

Last night I dreamed I was screaming into darkness. It left my body tired upon waking, as if my mind fought something my muscles couldn’t see. I’m working on mental health, and moments like this remind me how volatile things still are.

The Approach Changes Tomorrow

Starting tomorrow I will stop doing four‑day recaps or summaries. I’ll keep the day clean and focused—one day at a time.

Where I Stand After Four Days

  • Solid chunk of DSA completed
  • Math foundations progressing steadily
  • Regression concepts revisited
  • GitHub streak restarted
  • Workout routine restarted
  • Mental state messy but functional
  • Still showing up
