I haven't posted anything here in a while, right? To be honest, I was even thinking about giving up this section of my website. But, as you can see -- and read --, I did not, so let's talk a little about the last few days.

I had two different university admission exams in this time period, one of them which had two phases that I've already done. These admission exams are generically called "vestibular" here.

In general, these exams require knowledge in philosophy, art, portuguese grammar, english, spanish, text interpretation, literature, physics, mathematics, biology, biochemistry, chemistry in itself and an essay on a topic of social relevance -- to summarize: everything. I was supposed to study for a whole year for them, but I literally didn't study a fucking shit; I spelt this entire year in this current crazy obsession for programming that doesn't allow me to do anything else no matter how hard I try to.

At the end, to my surprise, I apparently did not do that badly: out of ninety question for both exams, I got fifty five correctly in the first phase of the first exam -- nothing too impressive since this phase had no mathematics, physics, biology and chemistry -- and, for the last one, I got exactly fifty correctly. Unfortunately, because my lazy dirty ass, I don't have the answer key for the second phase of the first exam, i.e.: I have no idea how badly I did in that one.

Despite this, I should've done much better than that; these results are really shameful, just like that bronze medal. So, what I'm planning is to redo these two exams next year. That way, I'll also be able to learn more about mathematics and physics, which are studies fields that really interest me. My goal is to get at least seventy-five to eighty correctly answers out of the nintety questions. If I can do this, I'll be an accomplished man -- or not, knowing myself.

About programming: I stopped my Vulkan studies. I know, I shouldn't have done that, but I really, really want to finish at least a demo of this game engine before my 20's. So, from now on, I'm going to replace all the Vulkan code to OpenGL code. So then, when I have a consistent version of the engine working, I'll implement a Vulkan renderer -- just like Godot did. I don't know if it is the best approach to follow -- actually I tend to believe that it's not --, but I'll do it anyway. OpenGL is still capable to do great things and I'm sure it'll be useful for a while. After all, I bet my renderer will not be that complex.

Now, about the gays: I don't know, in the last few days I was very focused on researching about how biology explains homosexuality. It's literally impossible to explain everything here in this short post, so I'll probably -- not promising anything -- write an article about this for a potential new room. For now, I'm going to leave this "to-do note" here.

I just noticed that the difference between the Writing posts, the Articles and the Diary posts(here) might be a little vacancy, so I'm writing this post(in the diary page) to clarify it(and, with this explanation, you'll see that it does not make much sense to write it here, but that's okay for now)

Initially, I created the writing page to share some writing projects I have -- short stories, random articles about various topics, proses in general, poetry, etc. However, as I coded the rest of the website, I realized it would become a complete mess as the scope of the site grew more and more. So, I decided to split the writing page into rooms specifically focused on each thing.

Now the Writing Room will be specifically focused on my fictional stories. No, I won't delete the blog posts and the other items there that no longer fit to the writing room purpose.

This diary section here will focus on more personal content, so much so that there'll likely be many portuguese posts here.

And, finally, the Articles Room(still in development) will be specifically dedicated to more detailed projects. There, I plan to post large articles with an extensive reasearch about and a large number of revisions. These articles will cover varied subjects of my interest, so you can expect a lot of science, philosophy, programming, and more.

In general, that's it. Hopefully this helped to clear the things up.

The week almost didn't even start and it is already being tiring. Happily, I'm wearing my ladybug slippers, so I'm in a good mood.

Today I had to choose which university I am going to get into. I had eight options, -- a really damn cool space to choose from. At the end, I basically chose universities in the computing and linguistics field -- I know, both very different from each other. By the way, I was about to choose a philosophy university, but I didn't -- mostly because R. wouldn't be there with me.

Anyway, my first -- with highest prioprity -- choice was Journalism.

Hmm... I don't think I have any bigger news besides that I ended up doing well at that essay I wrote on 21st and that I apparently -- I didn't get it yet -- won a bronze medal with another essay -- i.e.: I am a moss rubbed on some unimportant carpet.

Sum's up: yes, today was definitely a day.

Signed: Daniel.

Today was one of those days where I say pratically nothing with anyone; one of those days where I just walk around the mess of my house trying to find something to do.

R. didn't go to school today, neither H. nor J. -- i.e.: I wish I stayed at home. Deal with people while alone is such a hard challenge for me; I almost feel like I'm in the bottom of a ravine or something and, when I try to climb it, I won't be able to 'cause the whole earth will fall on my head.

Anyway, today I had to write an essay that, to be honest, I did not do very well. Actually, my grades are getting worse and worse as the time goes on and I can't do anything besides study, so that's what I'm going to do.

As I said in the Writing room, I'm learning mathematics at the moment. So now that I know my latest bad grades, I'll also start to learn the other subjects, such as Geography, Philosophy(for the 3x this year), Physics, Chemistry, Arts and others. The really huge problem is that I have this thing about, for no reason, focusing a lot on some current insterest and then only being able to do things related to this current insterest for all the day. That sucks because, very often, I end up doing this hobby instead of doing the other more urgent stuff.

So, to overcome this my "addiction", I'm just going to combine the hobby and the urgent task!

My "superinterest"(sorry, I don't have any better name for this) at the moment is programming. Then, as I want to re-learn school subjects in general, I'll combine both interests into programming projects, so I'll have more desire to study.

I don't know what else to write here, so I'm just going to stop. I started talking of my boring day and now I'm lecturing about studies. Thank you for reading, this was the first official post in this online diary. Thank you very much and bye.

Oh, and an important note: I usually review all the texts I write on this website, but I'm too lazy for this today. Sorry for the grammar errors, sue me.
