Hello! Today, nothing really happened. I woke up, to a mail from a student, who’s point’s I added incorrectly together – whoops… Then, I did mostly nothing.

In the afternoon, I had some fun solving Sudokus. These weren’t normal Sudokus, since those are quite boring, but some from here, with extra rules, which makes them kinda fun. Usually, I picked a Sudoku from a Cracking the Cryptic video, and then try to solve it faster than those guys. (I was usually about 5-10 minutes slower, for the ones, where it took them about half an hour.)

Late in the afternoon / early evening, I decided to go outside for a bit of sun exposure. I then lied there, listened to some music, and thought a bit about some specific problem I think about every now and then. That is: 1. We have to make a dating platform where we get a lot of data from the users. 2. with this data, we have a score of how well two given people fit together. Now the problem: How do you find the best distribution? That is, how do you make the best pairs for everyone? Or better: Make the best matches, but only match, if they are above a given threshold of “good”.
I didn’t really come up with a solution, but I believe to have remembered, that we looked at some kind of algorithm for this in the machine learning lecture. So I went back inside and looked through my notes. I couldn’t find anything though.
I then asked chat-GPT, and it turns out, there is an algorithm for the problem without the threshold. Maybe I’ll try to implement it tomorrow. Maybe I’ll even try to do it with this threshold.

Then, I saw a YouTube video, where they said, that google had some AI, which improved the 4×4 matrix multiplication algorithm. So what did I do? I implemented the old one into python – cuz why not?

Once I was done with that, I solved some more Sudokus, watched some YouTube and now I’m writing (to) you. Surprisingly, the day feels not bad at all, even though, I didn’t really do anything that useful. Which usually decides, if a day feels good. Anyway. That’s all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow! Take care! Bye-Bye!

Hello Hello! Today, was a good-ish day, I guess? Not too much happened though. Still felt “like a day” if you know what I mean.

Morning: I woke up pretty early (given, that I didn’t have too much sleep in the last 2 days) So at like 9am. I then waited some more time in my bed, to have a chill start in the day. I got up at about 10 am, and then finally took a look at the clothes I ordered (about 3-4 weeks ago). Surprisingly, most of them were actually good. That means, out of like 8 pieces of clothing, I only need to send 2 back. Actually, one of those, they just sent the wrong clothes, so it doesn’t really count!
After that, I just spent some time on YouTube, watching a a reaction video from AGoodwinTV and then today’s Los Ratones scrims.

So, after all that (and lunch) I had my obligatory Thursday corrections to make. Now the first students reached the threshold (of points needed for the exam) so from next week on, hopefully some of them aren’t going to do the exercises, which in turn would mean less work for me to do.

Once I was done, I cooked dinner for the family. I made some classic spaghetti bolognese. It was actually really good. I let the bolognese cook for about one hour, so it was really delicious.

After dinner, I did the dishes, and then spent some time on my PC. I didn’t really know, what I should do, so I solved some “hard” sudokus. Not the normal kind, but some from Cracking the Cryptic. I usually just look out for videos which are about 30 minutes long, and then try to solve those. I manged to solve two – so that’s nice!

Once I was done with them, I just watched some more YouTube, and now I’m writing (to) you.

Also, today, my knee hurts. Weirdly enough, it got worse during the day, even tough, I didn’t even do any physical activities. Also, it’s my left knee, which usually is the one in better conditions. My right knee feels normal… So I’ll probably stretch a little before going to sleep and then it’s hopefully gone tomorrow!

That’s all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow! Take care! Bye-Bye!

Hello there! Today, was another not too event-full day, at least telling wise.

Morning: Wake up -> go to uni -> 1 hour lecture -> going home -> lunch.

Afternoon: first some chill YouTube time -> going outside to solve some exercises & chill in the sun -> need to check one of my answers on PC -> back inside -> didn’t really work out -> spend time on YouTube -> plan the volleyball practice.

Evening: Dinner -> Volleyball practice (we had a spike-technique practice. I planned some drills, but I got better ideas in the gym, so I kinda ended up switching them. The practice was good nonetheless.) -> going back home again.

Also, before volleyball practice, I went and picked up my (new) key for the gym (since we train in a different gym now). On the way there, I asked Daniel about what his goal was concerning females. You know, he always claims, he’s not that interested, but I don’t really buy it. Because, last summer, he had chances with some girl (let’s just call her Joe), and then he was completely on cloud 7. Like for 2 weeks. Only because he had some chances.
So today I asked him, and he said: “If it happens, I don’t really object”. hmm… not that good of an answer. But yeah – we’ll see what happens.

Back at home, I had some cereal, watched some YouTube and now I’m writing (to) you.

Also, just before the song “Cough” was playing and it brought some memories from my ex back. Which made me kinda sad. Funnily enough, I only realized it, in the middle of the song, when it was already kinda too late. I then just hopped on YouTube real quick, to distract myself. It helped kinda. So the (somewhat) usual stuff.

But that’s all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care! Bye-Bye!

Hello! Today it’s gonna be quick. In the morning, I woke up tired and contemplated if I even want to go to uni. I then decided to do so, so I went there. Since it’s Tuesday today, the cleaning woman was here -> I didn’t have any breakfast. Dead!

Today was even the first day where I answered a question of the prof wrong… But I then came up with the correct solution in the same answer, so it wasn’t too bad. After the complex analysis lecture, I went home.

At home, I had lunch, watched a little bit of YouTube, did the computer architecture exercises (that means, I copied them from the chat-GPT answers), and then went back to trying to implement my code to find the best approximation. Sadly, it doesn’t work. there are a few too many flaws… Happens.
Also, I called the doc, and I have an appointment next Monday. Nice!

So I did this, until after dinner. I then wasn’t sure if I wanted to go to the gym, since I was tired, and not really motivated. I somehow convinced my self to go, so “go” I did. Today, I trained arms (without shoulders, since shoulder broken…). It was okay. I found out, that I cheat quite a lot when doing my bicep exercises. (That means, I pull a little with my shoulder.) So I tried fixing this.
Also, my elbow hurt as usual when doing skull crushers.
And I trained my forearms for the first time. This is a terrible thing to train. Ain’t even gonna lie.

So after the gym, I made me some scrambeled eggs – for the first time in my life. And woulden’t you know, it was quite easy; abd good too. After eating and doing the dishes, I watched a cracking the cryptic Sudoku video, took a shower, and now I’m writing (to) you.

That’s all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow! Take care! Bye-Bye!

Hello! Today, I slept until early morning, woke up, went back to sleep, and woke up again at 12. Right in time for lunch. We were only 3 people, and I was still in my morning mood, so I didn’t rally talk, and none of the others felt like talking. But then some 5 minutes later, mom came home for the rescue.

Then, in the afternoon, I tried to implement (and develop even) the yesterday mentioned algorithm. This far, it does not work. But I guess I’ll try some more.

Then late in the afternoon / early evening, (I played too long with my algorithm), I was in a hurry to plan today’s volleyball practice. I then ended up writing a quick pdf with the most important (as far as I think) technical guidelines which they should know. I even let out my artistic side, and drew some pictures.

Of course, I wasn’t done with the whole plan as I left the house, but I finished it on the way there. Actually, today, it was raining, so when I left the house, I used my rain pants, which I own for quite some time, but forgot about, for the first time. (First time, since they were given to my, by my foster brother.)

The practice was quite OK. Not really good, but definitely not bad. My shoulder hurt really bad though. That wasn’t OK. Also, I set a reminder for tomorrow, so that I call in for a doctors appointment.

Anyway, after the training, I went home with Daniel and Samuel (Samuel was driving). Samuel asked us (or me mainly) what my goal is in Malta (Where we go in about 1.5 months). I said (what I still think) that my goal is to have a good time with the boys. He was somewhat baffled, since he thought, we (I) was going there to fuck around (so to speak). This isn’t really the case though.
He also said, that his personal goal is one female – hahah. I think, this is a funny way to say it, but yeah. Also, I think, this is a weird goal.

Then, once I was home, I spent some time on my PC, and now I’m writing (to) you. So that’s my whole day today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Until then, take care! Bye-Bye!

Hi! Today, was (telling wise) not a really interesting day. I mean, not a lot happened, but it didn’t feel that empty. So what did I do?

In the morning, I slept until like 10-11 am. After that, I had some oatmeal for breakfast and then I spent some time on my PC. Most of the time was on YouTube, and a little was creating flashcards for the complex analysis.

In the afternoon, I got really bored of YouTube, so I nearly fell asleep. I then decided to go outside sunbathing. I did this, listened to my “calm” spotify playlist and just relaxed for about 1.5 hours. Today, it was like 20°C, and a little windy. But the sun was shining like crazy with a blue sky, so I even got a light sunburn. So a perfect sunbathing session!

I think, it was really good to sunbathe, since it was a little like meditating. Not that I know, what that’s like, but it felt, like I expect meditating to feel like.

Then, in the evening, I went out with Josh, Yanis, Pete, and some more guys. We just spent some time drinking like 2 beers outside and talked. Tbh, I didn’t pay that much attention to what they were talking about, since like half the time, they talked about soccer, which I think is really boring.

We went home early (I was home at about midnight) and then I spent some time on my PC, and now I’m writing (to) you. So that’s all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow! Take care! Bye-Bye!

Hello!

Morning: On again / off again sleep until like 11:40 -> lunch

Afternoon: I watched some YouTube, listened to some podcasts. Also, I did some math homework, once I was bored of YouTube. During this time, my sister came by to talk a little, so I explained some math to her. She seemed somewhat interested. This made me happy, to be able to explain some of the things I do for once (even though, she didn’t really get it – for obvious reasons).

Then, at first, I planned to stay at home for the evening & go to the gym, but then Josh called, and asked, if I wanted to go grilling with him (and the classic culprits). Then I changed my mind -> had a speed run gym session (it was still like 1 hour, so not really shorter than usually…), (I trained legs, but not every exercise, but more reps on each machine) -> went home to shower -> went to my friends.

There, I cooked some pasta, whilst they were grilling the meat on the grill. We then ate all of this and it was actually really good. We also added some arrabiata to the pasta for the extra spice, which made it extra good!

After that, we went inside and played some games. As usual Yanis left earlier, since old & tired man… So the round was down to Pete, Josh and me. We played 2 rounds of cluedo (both of which I won – SUI!), and then we called it a day.
I forgot to mention: Petes house (shared apartment) – they bought a slushy machine, so we made our alcoholic beverages with that. It was nice, but I don’t find it too comfortable to drink, since it’s kinda like an ice-cream and this hurt my teeth a bit (since cold).

Anyway, back at home, I watched some more YouTube, and now I’m writing (to) you. But now, I gotta make a little confession: Today, I thought more often about my ex… I listened to some podcast (about dating) and they said some things, which made me unsure, if I had made the right choice -> made me feel a little bad… I just don’t know, if I’ll find a better match. But we’ll see. Stay positive!
But if I type it out like that, I remember, that I made the right choice, since I wasn’t really happy… But who knows ultimately(?).

But that’s it for today! I’ll talk to you again tomorrow! Take care, see you soon; Bye-Bye!

Morning: Sleep until kinda late -> get ready for TA uni work -> go to uni -> TA work -> going back home

Lunch: Since I was home too late for lunch, and we didn’t have any bread, I made myself some omelettes. Not to boil my egg or anything, but the second omelette I made, looked just perfect. I don’t even know, how I did it this good. Shit’s crazy

Afternoon: Was tired -> time on YouTube -> even more tired -> sleep for about 2 hours (I had a sex dream hihi – didn’t come though).

Evening: We ordered food for dinner, since same problem as at lunch. I had döner kebap, the others had Pizza. After eating, I corrected the exercises from the students. It actually didn’t even take that long & the students were really good. Once I was done with that, I watched some more YouTube.

Then some time later, I took a shower, and now I’m writing (to) you. So that’s all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow! Take care – Bye-Bye!

Morning: Wake up -> uni (complex analysis) -> back home

Afternoon: Was really tired -> went into bed, but with iPad with math exercises open -> solve exercises & not tired anymore (even though I didn’t sleep), was done rather quickly -> spent time on YouTube.

Evening: Volleyball practice. Leon’s cousin came today. (Professional volleyball player); which was fun. (Of course, he didn’t play serious.)
One time, he did a back-row attack -> I defended it -> got set (I was also in back-row) -> attacked on him -> made the point -> showed off, my big muscles haha.
All in all, the practice was not that good, but not too bad. Felt kinda like everyone was tired.

Going home from volleyball practice, tired and with an empty stomach -> makes me sad…

What did I think about? I kinda was sad to be alone (as in relationship), my knees and shoulder hurt -> thinking about quitting volleyball.
Also, I played the song “falling down” by lil peep and x -> I remembered, how we (ex and I) used to listen to rain in her bed, since it’s directly below the roof.
Because of all that, I thought back to my last relationship. I remembered, how I talked to her about quitting volleyball & everything in pain (since this was a somewhat common occurrence) and I suddenly missed her… Feels bad man…

But now I got back home, I ate a little, and most of these feelings are gone. Of course, I kinda opened Pandoras box, since this “missing her” is still kinda her, but yeah. Hopefully it won’t get to bad in the next few days (especially, since like the last week was nearly perfect!).

Now some time later: I watched Los Ratones scrims, and I’m going to bed now. Too late once again. (But my mental did in fact improve!) So that’s it for today. Take care and see you tomorrow! Bye-Bye!
