Hi all,

I know it’s been a while but ... Covid. My university sent us home in March, but I stayed on campus until May because at the time NYC was a hotspot for covid cases and my family had been sick at one point. These past couple of months have been absolutely crazy, but I’m glad to be home. I’m currently writing a Technical White Paper for my STEM communications class. It has to be max 2700 words but I went over the limit and now I have to revise 😅

April 28th, 2020 // Notetaking

My motivation is slowly dissipating and I’m nervous. I didn’t exactly start out the semester on the right foot , but I didn’t start out on the wrong foot either. I now have 3 group projects, and a separate project for my Human Computer Interactions class as well as the regular homework assigned. I also have to study for finals which is coming up soon.

I did a thing!! For my birthday (April 7th btw) I bought an iPad and completely switched to digital notes. It’s been a huge motivation booster and I’m excited to see what I can do with it!

JAVA!

A programming language that you’ll write once and run away. However, when you get the basics it is actually fun!

If you feel like you’ve seen this alread, that’s normal. This list of recommendation has been previously posted on my first account @praestantias which has been deleted for some reasons. So here I am, reposting it. 

Hating how elitist and eurocentric the dark academia community became, I would truly appreciate that you leave some recommendation of book written by people of color, for I noticed that I am guilty of the eurocentric part, but I am really want to educate myself and read more non-white books. 

Thank you for your suggestions!

I’m drowning in algorithms. I have a two-day algorithm exam coming up and I’m extremely nervous. We are allowed to bring a cheat sheet!

Here’s a picture of me trying to teach myself python for an assignment that’s due tomorrow. Why do I do this to myself?

Also! I saw My Hero Academia in theaters and proceeded to cry after. If anyone watches anime MHA specifically DM ME.

9 hour study session begins now! Somehow while staying on top of all of my assignments I still managed to be a week behind in all of my classes. That’s just college. I’m taking the time out today to catch up and prepare for the next week! Wish me luck.

Hi all! It’s been a while since my last post. I told myself that I would try to post more often but I’m currently dealing with two deaths in my family. The semester just started so I’ll try my best to be active. Thank you for continuing to follow me throughout my journey!

At the library 24/7 since my flatmates are annoying and inconsiderate. Studying is is not going well... if my prof spends the lecture patting himself on the shoulder for for having such innovative ideas instead of teaching me what he's supposed to teach me I learn nothing so I'm doing the job myself. He doesn't explain anything, expects us to read all his books and essays since we don't get anything if we don't. He's canceled for me. You try to fuck with my education? You don't do your job, you make me spend additional time on doing what your supposed to do? Bye.

Hi, I'm a first year in comp eng, and I'm trying to get a head start in my C programming class before it rolls around next sem. What are your suggestions for a beginner (learning, practicing, resources etc?) And maybe some mindset advice for programming in general?

Hi! If you have the time definitely read “The C Programming Language” by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. My Systems Programming professor swore on this book and called it the programming bible. I agree. Do all of the examples in the book! It’s a little hard to understand unfortunately because it is old. As far as programming in general, break down the tasks you need to do and take it day by day. I’m sorry if this wasn’t helpful. If you have anymore questions feel free to message me.
