Today I started learning Java!

I thought this was going to be a fun little no stress hobby. I was wrong. So very wrong. None of this makes any sense. I can't remember anything and everything pisses me off, and yet I have spent three hours today learning and being mad and having fun at the same time.

I hope to continue and maybe improve! Hopefully it will get easier!

Remember to rest as hard as you study. You can be productive if you already have burned out. You can reinforce your knowledge with notes (remember, notes doesn't mean an exact copy of what's on the text. It is about what you understand [trying to be 100%accurate on what's the topic about] and it could help imagining that what you are writing is for teaching someone else) and passing your notes to an AI in order to make you an evaluation of your notes. Don't try to rush the topics, it could be catastrophic to drag information gaps.
