of ninjas and sharp objects

you know, I had plans, those plans were centered around two points, don't die, and become a programmer. then I failed at the first one, and reincarnating into a world without advanced technology made the second one impossible. So, I made new plans, don't die a second time, and become an amazing, incredible, awe-inspiring ninja. but for some reason, the first part of the plan is becoming harder and harder to achieve.
