Hello yall!!

Ive done alot and nothing at the same time.

It feels so refreshing to finish most of my IB requirements as I only really have my English IO, language and culture autoethnography, and exams. With this and the free time indoors due to the amount of snowdays this year for some reason so. I now have enough time to participate in my old hobbies and interests like programmming, carpentry, and sewing (YAY). One of my ongoing projects now is making my own "troff" ripoff/CLI note taking app which involves reading through the PDF specifications (^yay). Also ive been doing much more CTF/cybersecurity for preperation which I find really fun.

A couple days ago I attended a (non calculator) math competition which was really fun. There were 2 parts of it being a team solving (5 to 10 minutes per quesion) and a relay solving. My team did okay for a first time but some private school team got a perfect score four several years in a row so yeah T_T. In retrospect, the questions were pretty easy but I found it really fun and pretty diffiicult in the moment. Heres some of my favourite questions from this competition.

1) Find the smallest positive integer n where
2025n+2026
is divisible by 2027

Answer Here

1013

2) Solve
√ 1 + 2026 * 2027 * 2028 * 2029 - √ 1 + 2026 * 2025 * 2024 * 2023

Answer Here

12156

Another thing Ive been spending alot of my time on is scrolling through neocities looking for cool websites. Its so inspring seeing the wonderfull and cool websites everyone has made. Its so cool seeing all the artistry and creativity in these pages. Whenever I dont know what to do with this website over the years, I just take inspiration from alll of yall so thank you :).

However, I guess something bad that arised due to the amount of free time is the amount of gender dysphoria Ive felt recently as I didnt have anything to distract myself with :(. I dont really like talking about it but I feel like its just been really bad recently like ykwim.

Other than that its been fine recently I guess :/. Ill try and work more on this website and some writings since ive been doing jack shit for this website so yeah :). Also Ive been thinking of making a little list for all my music so yeah :p
