Yeah, I know — I wasn't posting anything for a while. Honestly, I didn't expect such a big change in my life.

First of all, living alone (without your parents) is quite challenging. There are a lot of house chores I didn't notice before. The fridge becomes empty *very* quickly so I have to do groceries every two days. You're running short on flatware every time you want to prepare something to eat. It's not as great as you'd think.

School doesn't give me any slack either. I have a lot of math and physics. My daily routine looks something like this: wake up, grab something to eat (usually cornflakes), go to school, stop at the store on the way to buy lunch, sit through 7–8 hours of school, go back to the apartment, take a nap (sometimes 3 hours), prepare dinner, do homework and prepare for the next day's classes, take a shower, and finally go to sleep.

I don't have much time to code anything or practice singing or playing an instrument. This week I brought my harmonica and wanted to practice, but — no time.

Even though there are a lot of classes, my grades are not that bad so far. Tomorrow I have a very important math test and a Polish test. I honestly hate Polish as a school subject. It is so pointless and irritating. Nevertheless, I somehow managed to work a little on my video sharing website, and I'm quite proud of the result. It still looks ugly but I don't care about the frontend right now — the backend works perfectly.

HackHeroes started this week. It's an IT contest where contestants have to come up with an app that helps solve one of the global problems. I still have no idea what I want to build, but I'll figure it out.

Unfortunately, I stopped going to the gym. The reason is simple: no time, and no gym near me anymore. I was thinking about doing some in-house training but I haven't prepared a plan yet.

Anyway, it's already 2 AM and I still have a lot of studying to do. See you sometime in the future.
