Hello, world.

That's the two basic words that start every budding programmer's path in that field.

And it's also my greeting to you as I start this, the inaugural volume and page of my diary.

So... without any further ado, let's dive in.

I'm Sierra-D421, a 19-year-old man living in a tiny suburb of the political snakepit of the US that is DC. Life in the suburbs is fine. It's quiet, everything I need is within a short distance, and I don't need to worry about traffic even though I live along a highway The only gripe I have is the increasing urbanization of the town; it's like they're trying to turn it into Arlington 2: Electric Boogaloo. And Alexandria and Arlington are already bad enough; ditto for Tysons [Corner]. I mean, skyscrapers? Puh-leese. We don't need no stinkin' skyscrapers. I'm fine with townhouses and stuff.

School life is a pain in the six-o-clock. Half the time, I'm so bored that I'd rather listen to music, or go to sleep, or something, and the other two thirds is nothing but being so dead-tired that I literally need to sleep. Keeping my mind together during school is like pulling hens' teeth... or rooster teeth. Either way, point is: it's hard, and it takes a lot out of me. At least I've got some good friends in my class. Still sucks that I got held back two years... ah well.

When I'm not in school or running errands, I'm usually chatting, working on projects, or playing Halo on my Xbox. Usually, it's Xbox gaming. Fun fact: my online handle and icon have significance in Halo lore. I'll cover that another time, though, but for now, allow me to say that it has to do with the Master Chief, and the many armored supersoldiers in Halo that are just like him.

I've been staying home much throughout this pandemic. I'm really paranoid about getting this godawful plague, to the point that I refuse to even get my hair cut. And up until this school year, I took my classes virtually, over Zoom. I didn't wanna bring home anything that would compromise my mom or grandma, as they are both in high-risk groups, and I live with them. And I already had one scare with my mom and lost my dad to a cardiac issue. I'm not gonna take any chances.

And on that note, this is where I end the journal. Until next time!
