Morning Routine
- Woke up late, but kept my LeetCode streak by solving a problem right after opening my eyes.
Learning
Mathematics
- Watched videos from 3Blue1Brown.
The explanations made matrices and determinants click for me—there’s real logic behind them, unlike the vague treatment I got in school.
Machine Learning
- Watched some ML videos. I’m currently behind my weekly plan, but I’m working to catch up and expect to be back on track by the end of the week.
Habit Streaks
- LeetCode streak: alive
- GitHub streak: dead (for now)
Gym & Environment
- The temporary gym I’m using for the next three weeks is terrible; I miss the good gym near college.
- After today’s workout, I rode home so fast I didn’t notice until the song ended.
- Home doesn’t suit me; I function better when I’m at college. Three more weeks of this setup, then I’ll be back.
Mental State & Outlook
- Mental state: managing
- Location: not ideal
- I’ll try again tomorrow and aim to be back on track by the end of the week.
