Since Today was hectic, moving here and there all day .
Iโm tired, So Right now Iโm wrapping up at 6:00 LT after 3๏ธโฃ hours of deep focus . Honestly, this beats 7โ8 hours of distracted study . Weโll meet again another day, Thanks to everyone who joined and studied with me ๐.
On my study front: Iโm now familiar with linked lists ๐ 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 3โ4 linked list problems to reinforce my understanding .

๐ September Monthly Report ๐โจ Now, looking back at September (Month 2 since I officially joined tech)โฆ it was a messy and confusing month ๐
. I even doubted myself at times. Still, there were some small wins along with the failures. Achievements ๐ โ

๐September Monthly Report
Itโs 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 โ but still, progress was made.

Day 51๐
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 โ with all the init, val, next stuff that made no sense.
But then I realized something simple:
๐ 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 โ 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 โ each box (node) only knows where the next one is. You canโt skip ahead; you must follow the chain one step at a time.
In short:
Python list โ ๐ช Buying a ready-made chair (everything already connected and arranged)
Linked list โ ๐ฉ Building your own chair piece by piece (you connect every part manually)

Day 52 ๐ Letโs call it a day ๐ญ
Woke up at 6 AM and havenโt even returned to the dorm yet โ 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 havenโt started Web Dev (and itโs already Day 5 of November ๐ซ ).
Now Iโm honestly asking myself โ 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 ๐ฅ
Hey guys,
I was about to start another โStudy With Meโ session โ but this time, itโs something deeper.
For the next 14 days straight, Iโll study live for 4โ6 focused hours daily i.e no notifications, no random scrolling, no distractions.
JUST ME , MY PC AND PURE GRIND
So this challenge isnโt about hosting a session or showing off
itโs 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 ๐

My Study Plan
1๏ธโฃ Revisit & Recall
Iโll go back and solve all the LeetCode questions Iโve already done โ focusing on understanding, speed, and writing cleaner solutions.
2๏ธโฃ Topic-Focused Practice
Iโll work on topics Iโve learned before but havenโt practiced enough โ like Sliding Window, Linked List, Two Pointers, and Sorting.
โจ Bonus:
If time allows, Iโll try to grasp some new topics โ not necessarily as part of my main sessions, but just to keep expanding.
No new fancy goals โ just pure focus, discipline, and growth ๐
Letโs see how much improvement I can make in these 14 days ๐ฅ

Day 53 ๐
Hey guys!
Today was full of work โ and I also attended an amazing event by Sui Ethiopia! I met great developers and people deeply involved in blockchain. The energy, the vibes, everything was just ๐ฅ
It felt so inspiring meeting devs Iโve only known from podcasts and the biggest lesson I took away today was
๐ Build in public. Be global.
Share your journey, use platforms like X, and put yourself out there.
Also, my 14-Day Challenge is not paused! ๐ค
Iโll be going live right after church and doing another long study session in the afternoon and tonight. Letโs keep pushing! ๐ช
