Daily-Update

{{REDACTED}} Meta: It’s late as I’m writing this and there’s a lot of personal stuff interspersed throughout my journal, so I’ve decided to redact it all.

I am tired! I have not been posting for the last week, as I had procrastinated on many assignments and the end of the semester had been coming up. I had my math exam on Monday, and I believe I performed well. I have a history exam tomorrow, and I stayed up late tonight to study. I have had a problem with excessive amounts of X and {{REDACTED FOR CAREERIST REASONS}} and whatnot for the past few days. I read an article on lesswrong today about procrastination that I thought was interesting. I’ll leave the details to the article, but the takeaways are that the easiest actions I can take to reduce procrastination are to reduce the delay between doing the good action and getting a reward, increase the expectation of getting a good result from the good action, and increase the value of the good result. I feel as though there are nuances to accomplishing that, but I am tired, so I will end this entry here. {{REDACTED FOR CAREERIST REASONS}}. I also met with [[person_simon_bergeron]]. Tomorrow I wish also to work out. Finally, I wish to enable LaTeX embedding into my website. ...

I’m sort of screwed when it comes to school right now. I procrastinated on my photography and french CCAs, both of which were due a few days ago and both of which I am not yet finished. I must finish those soon. Today in the morning I learned about Haskell, rewrote my math test (I think I did better than last time), then in computer science I goofed off and played games with my friends instead of doing work, and then in French I worked on my french CCA (I think? I can’t really remember). When I came home {{REDACTED FOR CAREERIST REASONS}}, asked Claude to teach me how to solve a time-dependent schrodinger equation for a time-independent schrodinger equation, did that for a bit, {{REDACTED FOR CAREERIST REASONS}}, then did french history CCA stuff, and now this. Overall like 3/10 day. ...

Today was an okay day. I finished my ICS3U CCA, did some of my photography CCA, and did some math review. Tomorrow I have a math rewrite for exponentials. I feel like I’m sort of being crushed by work because I had a french and photography CCA both due yesterday that I did not do, so I’m sort of screwed, there are three days left before exams “start” (my first exam is next monday though) so I must work. {{REDACTED FOR LEGAL REASONS}}. {{REDACTED FOR CAREERIST REASONS}}. I also read some of good sleep, good learning, good life by Piotr Wozniak. I only read the summary and the part about the clock and the hourglass but basically: ...

{{REDACTED FOR CAREERIST REASONS}} I did a little bit of work on my ICS3U culminating interpreter and on my IEEE qCCL poster, but not a whole lot. I wrote my MCR3U sequences and series test today. I was tired because yesterday I slept at 23.00 PDT, and had to wake up at 04.00 PDT for school, it’s technically 21.29 PDT right now but I probably won’t get up until 06.00 - 07.00 PDT tomorrow, so I’m good. Crunch time. This weekend I have to do: ...

I didn’t do a lot for most of the day, then in an hour I did a lot. Tomorrow I must work more.

I slept in today, spent a while in the bathtub, missed the bus, my dad drove me to school and I missed announcements. I took some photos for my photography CCA in the rain, got really wet, finished most of last night’s math homework, went to math class, then went to computer science, goofed off and did no work, went to French, goofed off some more, came home, {{REDACTED FOR LEGAL REASONS}}, {{REDACTED FOR LEGAL REASONS}}, {{REDACTED FOR LEGAL REASONS}}, {{REDACTED FOR LEGAL REASONS}}, {{REDACTED FOR LEGAL REASONS}} then wrote my philo bac response, and then this. I didn’t work out today or work on my poster. Priorities for tomorrow in order: ...

Hello guys! I worked out today (Upper B) for the first time since last week, had two meetings, and then goofed off for pretty much the rest of the night. Today I also started my computer science culminating assignmetn. Here’s Claude’s summary of my night from my browser history (all times in EDT): ~19:30–19:45 — Podcast / Reddit wind-down Started on Reddit reading about indie podcasts — CGP Grey’s “State of the Workflow,” the Unmade Podcast, Hello Internet, Cortex, 99% Invisible. Poked at 8090’s Software Factory / {{REDACTED FOR LEGAL REASONS}}, briefly and checked your 8090 Google Calendar (week of June 8). Looked up Jeff Dujon (Unmade host). ~19:45–20:10 — Admin & paperwork ...

Hello! I have not posted for the past couple of days. To be completely honest, I forget a lot of what I have done for the past four days, yesterday I had a graduation party for my friend, Krishiv Thakuria, at which I was MC. I have not been keeping up with the Philo Bac prompts. {{REDACTED FOR CAREERIST REASONS}} I also figured out the logistics for how I will print my conference poster, my next steps are to figure out what my biggest / highlight figure will be and then adapt the prose around that. ...

Retrospective Today I did some work for 8090. I wrote an introduction as a response to one of the philo bac prompts as I had intended. I did some work for my computer science assignment. I did quite a bit of bicycling, and I also worked out today. Today was leg day, and around half way through I had seated leg curls, and I couldn’t find a leg curl machine, and I asked somebody and he pointed me to the leg extension machine, and I sort of nodded and thanked him, and then went on my phone to see if I could substitute the leg curls for something else, but I guess he thought I didn’t know how to use the machine, and so started showing me, so I got in the machine and started doing the workout, and after like 8 reps (probably reasonable for a set), I got up to fill up my water, and then just left the building. I probably shouldn’t have done that. Tomorrow I will rewrite the workout to remove the leg curls. ...
