When you’re super confused about a concept and ask GPT for help…
“Beautiful thinking 👏 — that’s exactly how top problem solvers reason.”
Bruh 💀 I’m not reasoning, I’m suffering 😭

Day 47 🚀
This week I’ve been a little too relaxed 😅 — since classes haven’t fully started, I kept making excuses and kept pushing Monday’s tasks all the way to today.
Now everything has piled up… and unless God helps me, this weekend might drive me crazy 😭
Here’s what I’ve got lined up before Monday:
🎨 Drawing assignment and Quizzes
💻 Side hustle work
🙏 Church (learning + praying)
👩👦 Meeting my mother
🧺 Washing clothes (Saturday's Vibe )
🧩 DSA grind
🌐 Web dev learning
But hey — I still managed to solve 1 problem today just to keep the streak alive 🔥
Let’s see if I can pull all of this off before Monday
Final report dropping Monday, stay tuned 😁

Kicking off my weekend a bit early, not to rest — but to shine up 💪
Day 48 🏛️
Today I finally decided to visit the National Museum — it’s literally just a few meters from my campus 😅. The entrance fee is only 10 ETB, yet I’ve been walking past it every single day without ever stepping in.
After lunch, I went in — and wow, I found this amazing quote inside that really hit me. 💭
Made me think... sometimes we ignore the beauty and value around us just because it’s too familiar.
Anyway, my day went mostly around there, and I didn’t really code much —
✅ just solved one LeetCode problem.
But I’ll definitely make up for it and get back to being consistent ASAP 💪

Day 42 — Still Showing Up 💭 Today felt like walking through fog. My head was heavy, my body weak — being sick made even two lines of code feel impossible. But somehow, I pushed through and solved two LeetCode problems. Then I heard that A2SV’s in-person…
Finally the expected Date is released and AAU Students are already considered🙏

Day 49 ✋
I honestly wish I hadn’t posted this, but failures need to be shown too, not just solved problems. The past few days I disappeared a bit because of family , friends , sleep , and even classes on Saturday .
Remember my last post? I said I’d finish all my tasks over the weekend… most are done ✅, except DSA .
And guess what? When I’m trying to focus cuz was n't focusing even by side hustles for survival 😭, A2SV opened G7 Cohort application, and here I am still battling distractions .
From now until November 10, I have no option other than DSA day and night .
Even that museum post I shared on Saturday ? That wasn’t my plan — my friends pushed me to go.
Lesson learned: you must set clear boundaries with your circle. Grinding in silence is hard, and nobody around me even knows I’m on this journey, not family, friends, like literally NO ONE except me and God not even about this channel .
Right now, it feels like I’m pushing a mountain .
This journey is heavy 💔, and today I’m hurting.

DAY 50 (STUDY WITH ME!) 🔥
This week was honestly full of distractions — overthinking, confusion, not studying, and even losing a bit of hope.
But right now, I’ve decided to take control
I’m starting a 4 - HOUR DEEP STUDY SESSION ⏳ — no notifications, no distractions. Phone aside 📵, just pure focus
TOPIC: 🎯Linked List in Python (DSA)
🕘 STARTS AT 9:00 PM (3:00 LT)
🚨 I’LL BE GOING LIVE & NO MATTER EVEN IF NO ONE JOINS!!!
MY INTENTION IS NOT THAT — IT’S ONLY TO STAY 100% COMMITTED, FOCUSED, AND DISCIPLINED 💪
👥 ANYONE INTERESTED CAN JOIN!

Study with me🔥
Since Today was hectic, moving here and there all day .
I’m tired, So Right now I’m wrapping up at 6:00 LT after 3️⃣ hours of deep focus . Honestly, this beats 7–8 hours of distracted study . We’ll meet again another day, Thanks to everyone who joined and studied with me 🙏.
On my study front: I’m now familiar with linked lists 🔗 but need practice. My goal is to tackle at least problem 707 (Design Linked List) as a solid exercise. This weekend, I plan to solve 3–4 linked list problems to reinforce my understanding .

🗓 September Monthly Report 🌙✨ Now, looking back at September (Month 2 since I officially joined tech)… it was a messy and confusing month 😅. I even doubted myself at times. Still, there were some small wins along with the failures. Achievements 🎉 ✅ Started…
🗓September Monthly Report
It’s been about 4 months since I started my tech journey (Web Dev + DSA).
Month 1
I officially began on July 1, but honestly, July was full of confusion and messy schedules. Things got serious on July 31, when I started documenting every step and taking more responsibility for my learning and life.
Month 2 and 3
In August, I began revising Python basics for DSA and learning HTML, CSS, Git, and GitHub for web development. But when things got harder, I paused web dev for about 2 months (September and October) to focus on DSA.
Month 4
In October, I was active and consistent for 21 days, though my goal was 25+. I even wasted the first two days of November — but still, progress was made.

October Monthly Report
🏆 October Wins
✅ Got started with real DSA concepts
✅ Studied Arrays, 2 Pointers, Sliding Window & L.Lists
✅Landed my first job (side hustle outside tech)
✅ Solved My first 50 Problems on Leetcode

💥Paused web dev completely — even forgot some syntaxs
💥Didn’t solve as many DSA problems as expected
💥Struggled to manage time (School, Side Hustle, DSA & Web Dev)
💥Didn’t start my weekly reports as planned
💥 Lost some motivation and got distracted by other interests
🎯 November Goals & Focus Plan
📍Apply for A2SV (not necessarily to get in, but to gain experience)
📍Balance school, side hustle, DSA, and web dev properly
📍Do my side hustle work seriously — just as I planned
📍Stay consistent for at least 27 out of 31 days in DSA
📍Start weekly reports to track progress and growth

Day 51🚀
I thought Linked Lists were complex... until I understood this!
For a long time, I used to think linked lists were this super confusing topic — with all the init, val, next stuff that made no sense.
But then I realized something simple:
👉 You can think of a linked list like a normal list, just built differently.
A Python list is like a row of houses side by side — each one knows exactly where the next is, so you can jump directly to any house by index.
But a linked list is more like a treasure map — each box (node) only knows where the next one is. You can’t skip ahead; you must follow the chain one step at a time.
In short:
Python list → 🪑 Buying a ready-made chair (everything already connected and arranged)
Linked list → 🔩 Building your own chair piece by piece (you connect every part manually)

Day 52 🚀 Let’s call it a day 😭
Woke up at 6 AM and haven’t even returned to the dorm yet — did my TD assignment, went to work (yeah, the one I mentioned before), and came back straight to the library. No dinner, just pure grind.
I even managed to solve one Linked List question for DSA, but still haven’t started Web Dev (and it’s already Day 5 of November 🫠).
Now I’m honestly asking myself — should I quit one thing to balance life with family and friends?
Or should I keep grinding, invest in myself, and protect my peace?

14 DAYS CHALLENGE 🔥
Hey guys,
I was about to start another “Study With Me” session — but this time, it’s something deeper.
For the next 14 days straight, I’ll study live for 4–6 focused hours daily i.e no notifications, no random scrolling, no distractions.
JUST ME , MY PC AND PURE GRIND
So this challenge isn’t about hosting a session or showing off
it’s about fighting my own habits, building focus, and trusting God through the process.
If you want, join me or at least share this post to support 🙏

My Study Plan
1️⃣ Revisit & Recall
I’ll go back and solve all the LeetCode questions I’ve already done — focusing on understanding, speed, and writing cleaner solutions.
2️⃣ Topic-Focused Practice
I’ll work on topics I’ve learned before but haven’t practiced enough — like Sliding Window, Linked List, Two Pointers, and Sorting.
✨ Bonus:
If time allows, I’ll try to grasp some new topics — not necessarily as part of my main sessions, but just to keep expanding.
No new fancy goals — just pure focus, discipline, and growth 🚀
Let’s see how much improvement I can make in these 14 days 🔥
