A new semester has begun at my school and now I'm back to writing my thesis. Something I'm not really looking forward to but I really don't have a choice. 🥀
HBD to Alan Turing!!

We’ve been working on this for the past 7 months, and it’s finally complete
I am being so genuine when I say that this is the first time I am seeing most of this information. I have taken FOUR years of history, one of those years being AP. It may have come up in a small conversation, but things like this were never allowed to have a real detailed discussion or anything. There are a bunch of examples I can come up from personal experience and I think that it is ridiculous that kids aren't taught that there is so much more diversity in history and science than they think.
A lot of history is taught in a way that will avoid topics that are uncomfortable when in reality; history is uncomfortable. It isn't possible for history to be a comfortable topic because not everyone has the same values nor have peoples values stayed the same.
It's not that hard to just teach what really happened instead of taking out the things that some people don't approve of because it's not about being favored by people it's about being true.
It doesn't matter a persons race, age, sex, or sexuality. What matters is what they did and how they helped the world.

Search Engines:
Search engines are independent computer systems that read or crawl webpages, documents, information sources, and links of all types accessible on the global network of computers on the planet Earth, the internet. Search engines at their most basic level read every word in every document they know of, and record which documents each word is in so that by searching for a words or set of words you can locate the addresses that relate to documents containing those words. More advanced search engines used more advanced algorithms to sort pages or documents returned as search results in order of likely applicability to the terms searched for, in order. More advanced search engines develop into large language models, or machine learning or artificial intelligence. Machine learning or artificial intelligence or large language models (LLMs) can be run in a virtual machine or shell on a computer and allowed to access all or part of accessible data, as needs dictate.

my lungs r on fire & i am full of ire
today there is much to do, such as arrange ten functions into a menu using jframes on netbeans,,, i feel like eclipse or intellij would be better but i have very little time to explore because of how much i have to do. also being ill these past few days has been less than ideal.
i have very limited spoons and breathing is very hard. fuck my yaoi life. i'll be working on C problems because i need to understand data structures better, but my minors are also creeping up on meeeee
will reblog w a progress update by EOD.
i am so sick rn but the leaf site got hacked and its shit got leaked. i fear i must get up just to see the uncommented 10k lines of code. what the fuck were you all doing. is this normal in php
how did the janitors live like this
were they operating this by sacrificing virgin lines of code to the maw of source files
First Time Setting Up Arch Linux
Today I finally decided to practice setting up Arch Linux on a virtual machine and not gonna lie, that was TOUGH. I was only having trouble installing grub because I didn't know the difference between UEFI and BIOS, lmao. All good though.
Within the last hour, my user had a password already which had left me stuck because I couldn't log in. So i had to look up online how to delete the password for my user. Luckily I figured it out,(still learning the terminology so please be patient with me) I had to be in root or chroot and use the command passwd -d [user] which then I could put a new password for my user.
I know my situation sounds dumb but I had a lot of fun setting up Arch Linux, and I hope to learn more as I continue using Arch.
Anyways, thank you for reading this post, and Godspeed :)
I SWEAR IT WAS WORKING FIVE SECONDS AGO AAA
AAAAAAHHHH I HAVE A MATH TEST TMRW
Normally, I’m not so stressed, but I missed class this week (I was skipping shame on me 😭) and I have no clue what’s going on… Me and the math teacher are besties because he’s the coach of the golf team, so I’m scared of disappointing him with my bad test scores.
I also had a long lab in chem this week. It’s really sad because we got bad results even though we ran our trial for over and hour lol. I think it’s my lab partner’s fault because he keeps on putting his crusty fingers all over the cuvettes which is messing up the spectrophotometer. Hopefully he actually writes his part so it’s not another repeat of last year.

Don’t ask me why we have a midterm in January… I have no clue.
my first 24 hour hackathon!
NEVER AGAIN in my life am I building a website from scratch 😭 it’s torture. if only my dumb self knew that frameworks existed…
“Since it is now past 2 AM, perhaps it’s time to get some sleep and tackle this tomorrow?”
Especially as a student, it seems necessary to sacrifice sleep in order to study for a test more or get that last homework assignment done, and I get it.
It’s a never-ending cycle— stay up late to study, too tired the next day, procrastinate because you’re tired…
I used to sleep around 8 hours, which is generally the norm, when I found that I was still procrastinating and still tired. I thought that this was due to stress and therefore needed to study more to reduce my stress about upcoming tests. This led to me sleeping 6-7 hours instead.
These past couple of weeks, I’ve decided to listen to my body a lot more, often sleeping 9-10 hours.
I’ve become more productive: being able to work towards my goals without losing out on my health, being more energized, and also having more free time.
It seems counterintuitive, right? Sleeping three hours more should reduce how much I get done in a day, but no. I realized I spend a lot of time while I study being off track or doomscrolling on my phone. This actually is a logical result of being tired— not having enough energy to focus on a task and needing the dopamine in a fast release.
So what do I do if I enjoy working late at night? Especially in high school, there’s strict schedules and timings for when you have to be up so that you can be on time. Unless you can get a prep period, you have to wake up at 7:00 am.
I started taking naps as soon as I get home. If I’m not feeling as if I’ll get anything done, I try to get off my phone and just listen to music or daydream as I try to get a little bit of sleep.
If I keep this up, hopefully Copilot will stop criticizing my sleep habits 😁
chemistry has been kicking my butt lately. so i’m staying after school to study. yay 😀
on the bright side, i somehow managed to secure more than 100% in my comp sci class with a huge fail rate… not really going to question it in case it was a mistake tho. take the wins when they arise
there's nothing more satisfying than the program finally working!! i went through multiple breaks of despair only for the stupidest line in the code to be the issue
last week this actually worked a little bit, so i'm going to continue doing this. unfortunately, i didn't finish my research paper on immigration by the due date, so i got an extension to this wednesday.

Karma and Reincarnation in Hindu Astrology
Hindu astrology is a tapestry woven with cosmic knowledge, ancient wisdom, and profound insights into life’s mysteries. Central to this intricate system are the concepts of karma and reincarnation, which provide a unique perspective on the journey of the soul. In this exploration, we’ll delve deeper into the significance of karma and reincarnation in Hindu astrology, offering insights into how these concepts shape our existence.

Karma: The Universal Principle of Action and Reaction Karma, a word that transcends linguistic boundaries, holds a pivotal place in Hindu philosophy and astrology. At its core, karma is the law of cause and effect, asserting that every action, whether physical or mental, carries consequences. In the cosmic ledger of karma, each deed is meticulously recorded, and its impact is not confined to this life but extends to future incarnations.
The beauty of karma lies in its impartiality. It doesn’t distinguish between good or bad deeds; instead, it operates on a cosmic scale, balancing our actions with corresponding reactions. Hindu astrology considers the natal chart as a blueprint of one’s karmic patterns, unveiling the imprints of past actions and their potential effects on the present and future.
The Wheel of Reincarnation Reincarnation, the belief in the cyclical rebirth of the soul, is inseparable from the concept of karma. In Hindu astrology, the soul’s journey is likened to a wheel, with each lifetime representing a turn of the wheel. The experiences, trials, and joys of each life are intricately connected to the karma accumulated in previous existences.
The natal chart, or horoscope, serves as a cosmic map guiding the soul through its earthly sojourns. It highlights the soul’s evolutionary path, shedding light on the lessons to be learned, the challenges to be faced, and the opportunities for growth. Reincarnation, in this context, is the soul’s quest for self-realization, where it seeks to balance its karmic debts and progress towards spiritual liberation.

The Role of Planets in Karmic Evolution In Hindu astrology, the positions and movements of celestial bodies are not mere celestial phenomena but cosmic signposts on the journey of karma and reincarnation. The planets are believed to influence our lives, representing the energies of karma we carry from previous births.
For instance, the placement of Saturn in one’s birth chart often indicates areas where karmic debts need resolution. Saturn’s influence can manifest as challenges and limitations, compelling individuals to confront and overcome past actions. Conversely, benefic planets like Jupiter and Venus signify blessings and positive karmic rewards.
Remedies and Redemption Hindu astrology doesn’t only diagnose karmic imprints; it also offers remedies to mitigate negative karma and accelerate spiritual evolution. Various rituals, mantras, and acts of service are prescribed to alleviate the burden of unfavourable karma and pave the way for a more harmonious life.
Astrologers and spiritual guides play a vital role in guiding individuals on their karmic journey. Through astrological consultations, individuals can gain insights into their karmic patterns and receive guidance on aligning their actions with higher cosmic principles.
In the realm of Hindu astrology, karma and reincarnation are not abstract concepts but living principles that shape our destinies. They remind us that our actions are not isolated events but threads in the grand tapestry of our soul’s evolution. Understanding these concepts empowers us to embrace life’s challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation, ultimately leading us on a path toward self-realization and spiritual liberation.
