Morning Routine

  • Woke up late again, but managed to keep my LeetCode streak alive.
  • Solved a LeetCode problem as soon as I opened my eyes.

Learning Highlights

Mathematics

  • Watched videos from 3Blue1Brown.
  • Gained a clearer understanding of matrices and determinants, realizing there’s solid logic behind them rather than random numbers.

Machine Learning

  • Continued watching ML videos.
  • Still behind my weekly plan, but aiming to catch up by the end of the week.

Habit Tracking

  • LeetCode streak: ✅ alive
  • GitHub streak: ❌ dead (will try again tomorrow)
  • ML progress: behind but catching up
  • Mental state: managing
  • Location: not ideal (prefers college environment)

Fitness Update

  • Temporary gym for the next three weeks is unsatisfactory compared to my previous gym near college.
  • After today’s workout, I rode home so fast I didn’t notice the speed until the song ended.

Reflections

  • Home doesn’t suit me; I function better when I’m at college.
  • Looking forward to returning to the college environment after the three‑week gym stint.

Day 5 – tomorrow is another chance to improve.
