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.
