Day 2: Math 416 and other Shennanigans


Another day over, and now I have experienced the final class in my register for this semester: Math 416: Randomized Algorithms. Honestly, out of all of the math classes I have taken, I expect this one to be the most challenging and the most interesting that I will have. It claims to be an advanced undergrad mathematics course, then goes around and says it's a Masters Level CS course. Honestly, I just hope we get to cover some interesting content and get to see what will follow from this. However, in order to make this schedule work, I will need to do loads of homework, something I am prepared to do, but I'll need to keep my mental energy up to ensure I can get everything all correct at the end of the day.

Besides 416, I finished my EECS 280 Project 1 today. Overall, Statisics are not terrible to compute, and I just hope that I'll be able to keep my spirits up while I struggle to get all else done in my life, as I spent a solid afternoon on the code and it seemed to require more effort than 151 ( though that makes sense, considering I knew the content from that course well ). I just need to add comments and check for any style concerns with the EECS 280 style checker.

Day 34-35: Hmm.

So... I did not realize I hadn't written in here for two days. That is rather insane. So - let's bring up a recap:  Thursday:  - My Math 316 teacher did not realize that the homework did not get sent out till the night before, and so I spent a lot of time trying to do work when I really did not want to. I ended up procrastinating waay too much, leading to several situations where I wanted to get something done but I felt way to tired to do so. Today isn't that much better at that, but at least I have some strict schedule to follow and I can just focus on getting my essays written instead of worrying about everything else happening in my life.  Friday:   - That day was the day I really felt worse about not celebrating any sort of holiday. Without taking a break, I was exhausted and made the dumb mistake of getting a nap and coffee at night, leading to a case where I was too awake to sleep yet too tired to do anything meaningful. My best guess is t...

Day 33: A weird day.

Welp. I guess I am not going on certain apps ever again. From computer troubles, to missed clicks, to even just oddities on the normal situation, technology increases the amount of helicopter parenting you see in people, and I guess I am not immune from that. It pains me, as I am pretty sure that I am being watched far harder than I reasonably should be given that I do nothing but study, but what can I even do to mitigate that? Now I just feel crummy and compelled to work because some people told me to, and honestly my frustration from something as simple and stupid as that still has me riled up. I just need to re-affirm my own priorities and remember that I am doing this for myself - and not for people who believe their interest is always in my best interest ( while it frequently is, they do not understand some of the nuances of interactions in today's age, which means I have to balance a knife of privacy trying to do things that are otherwise normal ).
