Bonfire again! This time with some chicken and pine nuts :)

I'm replacing reading on my phone with paper books again; so I bought some old ones, because it makes me feel more comfortable "ruining" them by taking notes and scribbling. I kind of love getting books that were clearly loved by someone, too; slightly yellowed pages and little notes taken by someone else.

I finished The Picture of Dorian Gray a few years ago, but re-read it now from the Oxford Bookworms collection (which is a shorter version; I bought it thinking it was the original but oh well). Finished in two days, and it made me remember how much I love, love reading. I used to binge-read series in under a week before, yk ... Gen Z's go-to phone addiction. I don't have that much time anymore, but I hope I can make reading paper books a habit again from now on.

it seems I only post at the end of each block but I KILLED my endocrine/reproduction final and I’m still really excited about it :)

we started psychiatry this week, and I’m freaking out a bit because it’s my last block of pre-clinicals. It’s so difficult to believe I’ve made it this far!

some advice i have for future computer science students

as soon as you learn data structures & complexity, run, don’t just walk, RUN to leetcode while the knowledge is still fresh in your mind. your entire career and whether you’ll get a well-paying job vs an average paying job depends on how good you are at leetcode.

build as many projects as you can, and i’m not talking tutorial projects that take a few hours, i’m talking big projects. working on a project for a month or two will get you really far.

if you don’t have an internship, do not waste your summers, learn new technologies, languages, concepts and build projects you can put in your cv.

try to participate in hackathons and coding competitions. it’s okay if you fail, but you’ll learn a lot.

learn how to read documentation. most tutorials don’t even cover a quarter of what a language, framework or software has to offer. the sooner you make reading documentation a habit, the better it is. and yes i know, documentation is long and hard to read. my advice is only read the sections that are relevant to you in the moment. something i also personally do is look at the code examples at the same time as i am reading the paragraphs, it really helps easily absorb the information.

try not to use chatgpt. and if you do, then at least use it for stuff you know you can do yourself and will be able to correct if the bot gets it wrong. using chatgpt is a very slippery slope and the more you use it the less you learn.

the math is important. math teaches you how to reason and how to develop better logical thinking. just because you don’t see yourself using the xyz theorem you’ve learnt anytime in the future doesn’t mean the math is useless.

be prepared to get comfortable with erros, issues, bugs and just problems in general. you’ll be coding 30% of the time and debugging 70% of the time (i’m exaggerating but sometimes it feels like this is the case lol), and that’s okay, it’s how we learn and the sooner you embrace it the better. if you’re someone who easily gets frustrated, then this is a heads up.

learn as you go. there is no such thing as waiting until you know everything before you start on a project. the only way and the best way to learn in this field is practice, so build, build, and build.

these are all the ones i could think of for now. feel free to comment your thoughts and questions <3

I wasn't as productive as yesterday but it's okay! I was able to do other things :)

Perhaps I will finally pick up calligraphy this year.

Not fully, not seriously, just enough to derive a style between my normal writing and something like Copperplate for use in special occasions. At risk of sounding narcissistic, I do quite enjoy my handwriting. All it took was a bit of time, some diligence, and a dash of self-reflection to have something which reflects me back to myself in a small and delightful way.

i want to learn all the things! being at my university’s library, seeing all the intriguing titles, and wanting to see and discover all they contain is both exciting and frustrating because there is only so much time in a day, week, year and life

First day down !!! Pretty light day today, I only had a morning lecture and a short afternoon lab, but Man I forgot how much of a workout it is getting to and from classes 😭😭.

I have a whopping 5 hour break today that I’m right in the middle of because I have no ride off campus right now, so I decided to spend the rest of it in the library.

Here I’m just cleaning up my lecture notes from math this morning because apparently my professor doesn’t believe in syllabus week and I wasn’t prepared for a lecture 😭. I also did not realize how silly I would feel taking pics for this account in a crowded area, so excuse the rushed awkward pic 😵‍💫
