Daily Productivity Challenge: 3/10

04.05.2025~ Went through some GLSL videos to understand the syntax for my computer graphics project and finished up inference performance on my Bayesian network

5.24- Saturday

Took a small break from school for the past three days and jumped back in this morning with some readings on argument credibility and fallacies. I’m really enjoying this critical thinking class. It’s a very nice break from discrete math.

Listening to: krisgaldr by heilung

Reading: financial feminist by Tori Dunlap

Espresso-fueled thoughts, morning musings, and a love letter to quiet ambition — between books, cafés, and city strolls.

Woke up at 7am as usual and went to the library at around 9am, stayed until 1:30 pm and then came back home to have lunch. I actually did some good progress on the coding assignment so I’m very happy but I’m still at 1/3 of the total so i gotta keep grinding! Going bouldering this afternoon so I hope it’s gonna be fun.

Semester/End of Term Update

Hi internet people! Tomorrow is my final exam for my last class of the term so I figured I'd do a bit of a recap.

Classes Taken: 5

Credit hours: 19

Certifications gained: 3/10

I started my first term with WGU in October of 2023 and in that time completed 19 credit hours and five classes; two of which were certifications. WGU is a self paced online university which lets me go through classes much faster than I would at a brick & mortar. Being able to do one class at a time has been such a huge lifesaver with my ADHD. I can only focus on one thing at a time. It did kind of kick me in the ass with Linux though, because I couldn't make myself concentrate on it for my life.

I'm tentatively scheduled for 26 credits next term and I'm not 100% sure if I will end up meeting that goal. I hope so though! My next certifications are Network+ and Security+ which should help me get a government sector job and up my pay a little bit.

On another note: I finally finished the Crescent City series from Sarah J Maas last night and woweee is it a rollercoaster. Next reads are the Atlas Complex and a nonfiction duology on Germanic paganism and folk magic.

All the things that made my life full—sciences, not the least of them—an ever-unfolding journey of discovery where every question opens a new world of answers
