An Open Letter

I started studying at 1 PM, and I am stopping now at 2:30 AM. During this time I’ve been doing the Pomodoro timer method, except I’m working on Kaggle competitions during the “work” periods and then working on leetcode during the breaks. At one point I took a walk for 15 minutes since my eyes weren’t able to focus. Other than this one break, I had to go charge my car and so I asked A if she wanted to join since I knew that I’m not able to spend much time with her this week. She said yes, and we went and sat in the lot (after I bought another notebook) where I took notes on some linear algebra videos. When we came back and I went to drop her off, she kept talking about things that weren’t too pressing and I ended up sitting in her driveway for over five minutes. When she noticed that I wanted to drop her off since I had more studying to do, she got upset. I spent more time just talking with her than any other break today – out of my ~11 hours of studying. Nonstop.
