Trying To Go Into A Career That Has Always Been A Side Thing Means My Experience In That Field Is So

27/11/2023 || Day 113

Remember when I said that I felt under the weather in my last post? Lol, guess who got Covid? This was my 2nd time getting it and it honestly wasn't as bad as the first time, and it was a lot more chill compared to the cold I had in early October. However, I did use it as an excuse to stay in bed and not do any programming (though I did manage to do some LeetCode to keep up with my schedule). I'm mostly bummed about having to miss my ASL class for that week, but I'm recovered and excited to go this week!

LeetCode

Like I said, I did some LeetCode questions. I did one on Thursday, Friday, and now today, and honestly the thing that I'm realizing is that when you print to standard output (i.e. for debugging), it'll slow down the performance of your result. So if it shows you only beat 5% of other users solving the problem in the same language, check to see if you have any lines that are printing to stdout and delete them. That'll speed up your solution.

Frontend Mentor REST Countries - Log #4

I decided to spend some time on this project today after neglecting it for nearly a week, and I got some serious progress done! I think all that's left to do is style the specific country page properly (for desktop and mobile) and do some string manipulation for the search function. Other than that, I think I got it working!! I'm also really proud of the search function, where you start to type letters and countries that include that substring will show up. It's helpful if you don't know the exact spelling of a country name.

The end of autumn. Makes me sad in a way but that's OK, sometimes change is for the better

studied, cleaned and reorganized my room, studied again. and i finished the night on a video call with my friend with lots of laughter. .𖥔 ݁ ˖༄

November 30, 2023 - Thursday

And just like that, November is also over. Crazy how time just keeps going. I feel like I'm falling behind. It feels like my 20s will end soon and I am still here still playing house by myself. There's a lot of things that I had hoped to do in my 20s that I have not been able to do yet. I pray that Allah will give me the youth to do those things later. In truth, what is youth but simply energy and health? But you know, energy and health can appear any time in life, no matter how much time passes.

I don't want to stop when I'm tired. I want to stop when I'm done.

100 Days of Productivity [15/100]

11.30.23 | Today was a doozy. I went to my religions class, and then had to drive a long distance for an errand. I finished my lab report after staring at it for days, and then had a nighttime Zoom class for Women and Gender Studies, which ended early.

Here’s a little peek at my December notion theme. I’ll share more about it tomorrow, but I went with some darker mystical photos to match the cold weather.
