Day 2: Low Energy, Work Done Anyway

Day 2 wasn’t impressive. I woke up feeling slow, and being at my grandma’s house doesn’t help. It’s one of those environments where everyone cares a little too loudly, and it kills any sense of pace. Not in a toxic way, just not compatible with how I function.

Still, I worked.

I watched the 3Blue1Brown video on vectors, which cleared things up more than any textbook explanation has. After that, I moved into hashing and stacks. Hashing still feels rough—it doesn’t click as naturally as other topics. No point pretending otherwise.

I solved LeetCode 217, 242, and 1. Then I had to take a nap because someone managed to irritate me enough to shut my brain down for an hour. After that, I went through linear regression.

That’s the whole list for today. Nothing dramatic. Nothing aesthetic. Just work done in a slow, unfriendly headspace.

I’m not tired, but I do feel a bit dead inside—more like I’m back in the same isolation I always return to. It’s not new, not scary, just familiar. Day 2 is over. Day 3 will be cleaner.
