So yeah, its been a while since I've updated this diary because I've been concentrating on other stuff, but nothing of that much importance has happened since then. Looking back, the last thing I wrote here was not even that interesting nor significant, but I just wanted to write whatever to practice my english and to do something instead of doomscrolling. Speaking about that, I feel like i've been doing a lot of progress in setting myself free from social media and algorythms since I started becoming more conscious about it lately, and the results are very satisfying. For once in my life I can concentrate better on my assignments and on whatever I do, and that really shows on chess. After a long time of not having the motivation to play instead of wasting my time on the phone, I've gone back to it and I've improved a lot, going from 600 ELO on Blitz to 800, and I am really happy for that. The other day I was watching this video from FortNine (A youtube channel about motorcycles) which was about greedy algorythms and how they work, and, apart from the fact that a motorcycle channel talking about algorythms sounds like something completely random and incoherent, the video actually gave me a lot of insight about screen addiction and wasting time on the internet, and inspired me to spend more time offline.
Tomorrow I'll go on a roadtrip on bike with my dad and brother-in-law to a lake, and it will be a 3 hour ride through mountains and nature in general. Despite Latin America generally being percieved as an epoverished and unsafe region on the world, I'm very grateful of living in a place with beautiful landscapes to explore. Appreciating nature and doing creative hobbies (like sporadically developing this website) instead of wasting my time on social media has really helped my mental health, and I wish more people realized how bad the internet has impacted our brains.
Also, I learned how to use these text breaks properly, so from now on the text will look a bit more organized I guess lol. I think that from now on I'll make these entries on a weekly basis to have more time to be able to think about meaningful things I can write about. In the meantime, I'll develop other parts of the site.
Today was saturday, but I had to go to school anyways to prepare for the standardized test.
I had to go to a different school to take this specific training for the test, so I didn't knew anyone there,
and i HATE being alone around a lot of people that I don't know. It's just so fucking unbearable and unconfortable cuz you don't have anyone to talk with so you end up looking like
the weird kid trying to act mysterious lol. Anyways, during class, there was this girl who was besides me,
and we were basically doing prior knowledge exams in class. She would answer all the questions correctly. My competitive ass could not let that happen,
so I started trying hard at answering the questions until I finally got a better score than her. I remember celebrating in my head like ive just won a tournament or something like that,
though It was completely pointless cuz the exam didn't even have a grade, but I was satisfied.
When class was over, I went outside, grabbed my bike and went home, and I remember that during the ride back home, I reflected on
how stupid the whole thing was lmao. Anyways, the girl looks like a chill person compared to the other girls in my class who are loud af.
Might try to talk to her to see if at least I get to know somebody from this school.
moral of the story: Don't pĺay fortnite or you'll end up becoming a tryhard irl lmao.
