Studying

 

Ok, as I was saying now is the time for me to start brushing up all the things that I've learned in school. 

For now, I will mostly be focused on just one thing. Cracking the Interviews. 

Today was a little meh. I woke up pretty late, it was almost 1pm. The time difference between CDT and EST is something that I have to get used to. Whenever I check my alarm clock in the morning, I deduct one hour from the clock and tell myself, it is still 7 am in Texas so I'll just sleep for an hour, which then just continues and viola it's 12 pm. 

After I woke up, I had my meal, and then watched Our National Park series on Netflix. Nature is amazing. After seeing all the creatures, there and the vast richness of Nature, it made me feel that ok whatever that I am focusing on, and all that jazz, life's just not limited to that. All these things makes me take myself less seriously. 

And after that I believe I played COD for a while. But, now COD has become boring. I don't enjoy it that much. Then, I started studying for a little bit. I took the practice exams for google, I was able to solve one question, and then the other one was just too confusing. I realized I need much more practice in just thinking about problems and actually coding them. 

I am not that proficient with using python. So, I need to frequently search for syntaxes. Other than that I do know my ways around stuff. But, you know having a good knowledge about the programming language is also important even though I can always search for syntaxes. 

Anyways, after that Ashley dd came. I was initially planning to scare her (yk hiding behind a wall and then just shouting something) but didn't do that today. And then, PJ dai came after a while. We steamed some momos and then watched Big Bang Theory. We finished season 4 today. 

Then, we went to Sam's club to get some chicken and few groceries. I was playing this song by Aasutosh KC called maya , and got completely lost in the music for a while. It's been few days and this song has just been stuck in my mind. Anyways, we also went to walmart to find some salmon fish. Apparently, Alaskan Salmon is better than Atlantic, and Walmart usually had those but not today. 

So, we returned without the Salmon. Oh and I also tried Kombucha for the first time today. It was good. I am actually having it as I write this. It's the Gingerade flavour. 

Yeah so we came home, marinated the whole chicken for tomorrow and then I came to start studying. 

I was studying sorting, especially insertion sort. And now just reading the algorithm, I am amazed by how simple and good it is. Although it's not that efficient, it's still cool. The implementation of that. 

Also, I was looking to purchase a new laptop. But, I don't think I need it. I was actually checking for the price with the specifications I want and it was around 3K lol. That's too much. I was thinking of buying it because I wanted to start a project of my own and maybe learn a bunch of new stuff. But, decided not to because I should be focused on one thing. 

One thing to rule them all as Frodo would say lol. The one thing is deeper understanding of CS fundamentals, and cracking the interviews. 

Honestly, I am finding this notion of ONE THING very useful. Whenever I feel distracted I just remember about the one thing and try to get back to the zone. Also, I've decided to block my time. Like work for 4 hours 2 times a day. So, it doesn't look like much. And then for studying study for few hours in the morning before work and few hours after work. Then weekends, go full on study mode. 

We travel a lot or just do a lot of stuff during weekends, so I think I need to find a balance. I was here yesterday and we already have plans for 2 upcoming weekends, and then a big plan for the end of the month and ykk.. just a lot of plans. 

I don't want to just not travel, but I think the key now is to be focused with the time I have. Not get distracted. Not having social media helps a lot on this, and usually just disconnecting my phone from the internet also helps. I think I am getting better at these things, and I need to keep up with this. 


-Until Next Time

Handsome Charming Man (who is focused on ONE THING) lol

Moving on

There is a common misconception that you need to move on once you break up. But, I am here to say "No you don't". You don't need to move on. It's not mandatory. It may be bad for your mental health, you may spend hours staring at the ceiling thinking about them, your fingers may get tired stalking them over the internet, who knows you may sneak into their room once or twice to remind yourself of how they used to smell. People go to the extent of kidnapping other's wife and we all know what caused the death of Rawana ( Ramayana ) or the  Trojan war . At least, you will not be responsible for anything like that. What you have ... is a healthy obsession. The only person who'll get hurt out of this is YOU. If you ask me, I decided to move on. I know it's hard for me to find someone like her after I have been emotionally attached to her for so long. How can things end so quickly? Where did all the dreams we had suddenly disappear? What about all t...

Love these keyboards

The main objective of this post is to check these new keyboards from Lofree that i got. Love them! It sounds very creamy, that I want to just yk savor the sound.  The backspace key in particular sounds very nice and also its fun to type.  These days have been pretty chill, changed my decision again I might very well need to move to Canada. Not my first choice but better than staying here and studing + working at the same time. Mostly because I want to travel back home as well. And yk for the aspect of certainity in life as well. If I go to Canada at least I'll have my PR process started there and by the time I come back to US I will have something to fall back on.  Still have one more shot so hope I get that. I don't really ask god that much very few things, last year I wasn't that serious but when things are starting to get real you realize the importance of things. Already starting to miss Seattle a little. I am very very hopeful and feel like I will get it but yk have ...

Few promises

Ok, so I’m in Ohio now.  I’ve been hanging out with a lot of married people these days. You know you’ve started to become an adult when the parties end at 8:00 because the kids have school tomorrow morning and you have work to wake up to.  Usually, we used to start partying at 8, and here we end partying at 8:00.  I’ve noticed that a lot of married couple are tired of each other?! Like why are they not at the party with each other. Usually there’s a gang of ladies and then of guys each of them wishing that they had more time to themselves and complain about each other. They call you lucky that you don’t have kids and stuff like that yk.  So, here’s a quick promises to myself. If I get married. Honestly, I don’t think I will be in a relationship ever again for a long time. But let’s say magically.. I find miss perfect and let’s say I get married.  1. I will never ever ever ever not make time for my significant other.  2. There won’t be a single day I forget ...
