The sinus made a comeback last night as I was about to sleep. It’s getting very tricky. I figured now that my health is in line, I can sleep on time and start all over, but I was wrong. I made the call and finally went to the society garden to exercise as planned since the beginning of the month. I didn’t count the reps today as I wanted to keep it like a warm up.

It was a little hectic day, a lot of discussions were done, some tasks completed, a little lazing around, and I didn’t even realise when the day almost came to an end. Though, there seems to be some improvement in my sinus, I hope it sticks till morning.

I watched a couple of videos during brunch today, about computers and maths in general. Learned about faster algorithms to perform matrix multiplications, how AI has been helping with new algorithms and scientific breakthroughs in general. Then I dived into the software languages, learning about eso-langs, the roadmap of programming in general and some random, obscure and mostly useless sorting algorithms. It was pretty enlightening, I shall write extensively about these one day.

I spent a lot of time looking for this one particular moment from one of Russell Peter’s performances, I probably should have not done that. I did find it, though I couldn’t use it for the exact purpose I intended to, but it’s good to see his content after so long, and being able to find what I was looking for. It was his show from 2006 named “Outsourced”, the moment where he talks about this Vietnamese restaurant which he used to call as a kid just for the owner to say the name of the joint with an accent. It was kind of worth it.

I feel I am getting a little weaker, in the sense that I am losing body weight, and that I might be having some underlying problem. It could be related to me sitting behind my laptop screen all day, that too in a weird posture most of the times. I should work on fixing my posture, as well as the screen time.

Talking about which, I got Dev’s old laptop today finally, fixed up and working. I did some software related setup in it, cleaned up my desktop. I rearranged my desk as well, though it seems I might have to work on it more, because the desk is made of cheap plastic and is denting because of the weight put on it. I will use both laptops side by side, at least for some parts of the day, until my projects conclude and I can rest with some peace of mind.

My IITM exams didn’t go so well either, I should work harder towards the syllabus in hand. If I am lacking in the exams as well as the assignments, I should abandon all hope to get a good score. The next one week is gonna be really rough.
