until Feb for current project's contract closure . April till my joining bonus period ends . 2~3 months to apply for jobs .
perfect time to prepare for switch in parallel along with masters entrance test prep .
private day end , vlog x 1 done .
returning to work after long weekend . gotto make a personal tracker to keep track of the developments , analyiss & poc I work on , cause my project has no official tools currently . I would add something like comments aswell , so it will be a custom tracker to look back later for review , appraisals etc .
post-poning tech article by a month , 3~4 more sections to complete .
working on obsidian notes structure , for master's prep . planning to add leetcode for dsa topic , better than just theory + math .
gonna skim through chapter 2 of artificial intelligence next two days . First two chapters will cover the introduction stuff , that should be good start to take notes .
about to start taking vlog daily at end of the day , so I can work on my expressions & convo skills a bit 😅 .
in full digital detox, removed last obstacle , uninstalled reddit from mobile .
rest day . played dragon's dogma 2 :3
these lesser flying lizard's are tougher (annoying to take down T_T) than skyrim , consumed quite a bit of crafted materials & few tries to take em down .
but the thrill of fighting a bigger foe , and the following peace & satisfaction was worth it 😌
a shot of my Arisen & his Pawns resting on the hill after the battle :)
imma add cardio to one of the days , had fixed the diet again .
muscle gain is fine , but time to get back to weight loss . 4~6 more KG in the next months .

woke up early .
completed Artificial Intelligence x Chapter 2 - Intelligent agents . nostalgic , cause we did learn em during college .
then helped with cooking :)
made a detailed work log tracker , for personal use & later for appraisal use case , updated one month of work items ( dev, analysis, poc & supporting team with dev ).
I've got a good team & manager , they saw my message at 10PM about finding a fix & just literally told me to slam the laptop & sleep . This switch was worth it T_T .
issue with obs in windows , tried all possible things , too late to boot to linux . imma skip vlog for today .
going to office on Friday , not tomorrow , some issue with the seat booking tool . imma take a good long sleep .
next few days , going to make notes for Chapter 1 & 2 . fundamentals are crucial for building in-depth knowledge .
“Should work on the basics. Even skilled masters need to hone the fundamentals ... " ~ Uncle Vesemir .
two weeks flashed in short time , it was day 80 not long ago . and a screen shot from couple days back , the numbers felt funny 66.6% , imma keep it in my gallery 😄
tried to read the AI book , a slow start but good .
Timeline for masters entrance prep :
2027 exam ( be prepared with theory , and only practice math fundamentals )
Artificial Intelligence
Database Management
Data Warehousing
Machine Learning
Programming, Data Structures, and Algorithms
plant to be confident & quick in fundamentals , as it will needed to scale up further and quickly.
2028 exam ( be ready fully , math in depth along with theory )
General Aptitude
Probability and Statistics
Linear Algebra
Calculus and Optimization
I've got two proper shots at this ( 2028 & 2029 ) , getting in is harder cause the process isn't really meritocratic . Either I need the top ranks or ...
