Overview

Because of work responsibility and not having a minute of sleep, Took the day slow today. Wrote up some notes and finished two lectures of new unit. During the afternoon nap, I was dreaming of antiderivatives. Dreams with central theme of grappling with a convoluted, transcendental, imaginative concept. Lovecraftian almost. This has happened to me several times before when I deep in some programming architecture, engulfed by the abstractness. Mental fatigue from working all day and lack of sleep might contribute to these tendencies.
I haven’t enjoyed working like this since past few months. To be faced with a challenge and have means to deal with it is a privilege I am most thankful for. More so if I fall in love with the process. And right now I am in love with the process. I feel comfort knowing exactly what I have to and want to do at any time of the day- it is to study, solve and learn. Life seems better with one singular purpose to anchor it.
