Another day in the life of trying to be a functional human while pursuing tech dreams.
The Medical Circus
Spent the day ping-ponging between spiritual and scientific healing approaches. Parents insisted on the temple visit (can't argue with parental wisdom), followed by yet another doctor consultation. The dreaded "O-word" came up again - operation. At this point, I'm collecting medical opinions like Pokemon cards.
Evening brought an MRI appointment with a different doctor because apparently, we're doing a full medical tour now.
The Productivity Paradox
Here's something weird - couldn't skip my workout despite the wrist situation. There's this mental clarity that comes from physical exertion that I just can't replicate any other way. Maybe it's the endorphins, maybe it's the discipline, but my brain literally refuses to function properly without it.
Coding Reality Check
Studied some data structures and solved one leetcode problem (easy level, don't get excited). But - I'm totally procrastinating on starting my machine learning house prediction project. Classic developer move: doing "preparation work" to avoid the actual work.
It's like when you clean your entire room to avoid studying for an exam. Your brain finds creative ways to stay busy while avoiding the thing that actually matters.
The Juggling Act
Trying to manage networking, startup ideas, ML learning, DSA practice, and basic human maintenance feels impossible some days. College starts tomorrow, which adds another layer to this chaos.
Sometimes I wonder if everyone else has it figured out or if we're all just really good at pretending we're not dropping balls everywhere.
Tomorrow's Promise
Setting a hard deadline for myself - the house prediction project starts tomorrow, no matter what. No more "I'll do some more leetcode first" or "let me review the theory one more time."
Sometimes the best code is the code you actually write, not the code you plan to write perfectly.
