Glazing London because its cool

Honestly I like London, its cool. The UK feels like a weird mix of European Culture/Values with American quirks of things like car dependence. Like seriously the second you're outside London most places will have a ton of cars around. And in London is either SUVs or Golf type hatches, no middlegrounds. But who cares about cars when most of the time you're sitting in a bus which in the summer times is hot AF that you're sticky, and getting angrier and angrier while the double decker is sitting in traffic. And then theres the Tube but the second you mention it its villanized on how Zone 1/2 costs millions even if its like £8.90 daily cap for distances that take hours to walk or bus like to me thats a great trade off. Anyway I need to come back to use my £6.10 on the Oyster. And to visit places I didn't have time to check out. And to glaze it more.

Its hard to make yourself work on making a project only for sake of work

Ima be honest but graduating school is weird. Like its impossible to force yourself to work. Like when you're working on a project and its uncertain if works out. Looking for jobs its also hard when you're ghosted a lot because your qualifications and skills even tho they're great, aren't important if you're probably going to college in couple months. And sure I could call myself undisciplined because I'm not comitting code everyday but I'm not American, mindset here is way different, self care and feeling good is more important than crunching things, especially in side projects. Even the most american places like Warsaw - or rather London (especially Canary Wharf giving tech/finance bro vibes) aren't as "work bitch" focused as SF for examle. And thats Okay, lemme be European, but without being annoying like a German FOSS Activist on the Fediverse.

Overwhelmed App

Insert a thing about Swift Student Challenge

I made an app to calm down when overwhelmed. It flopped. NGL I expected it because later after submitting I found some bugs that made the UX worse. Also bet some didn't see originality in trying to make what would be seen as booleg built in mental heath features from both Watch and Phone. Sure to me a concept of breathing excercise on a bigger screen then a Watch might be intresting and less techie people might love it. But whatever. Maybe next time.

Forgot to say that I'm updating this website.

Bothered to actually touch it knowing I made something new and needed updates.
Thought about turning it into a blog would be cool but I'd be too lazy to deal with it. Also people I know recommend me on limiting online presence as of now, and seeing how its playing out with Twitter its something to consider.

Dropped Twitter to be calmer.

And I guess it works.

Less drama, less ragebait. Calmer overall. Friend was right.
Not sure If I should delete the account or just clean the posts or just go private IDK.
