// july 🌿

july’s shaping up to be a really busy month! my gold practice expedition was at the start of the month, i’m doing some recruitment for the digital leaders group at school, we break up next week and then i’m going camping and straight on holiday! i did actually have a good time on my expedition, despite my boots being completely soaked by the third day and the inordinate amount of midges.

in terms of my theme for this month i decided to stick with the florals and go for a wildflower theme. it’s quite drawing heavy but i don’t have that much school work this month so hopefully i’ll have time to draw it all!

👋 Hello

It's around 10 pm and I'm not yet sure If I want to sleep in early or just chill around with my phone a little longer .Today I completed the following tasks

Revised Group Theory

Revised stats for 15 minutes

Revised chemistry for minutes

Studied Bayers Strain Theory in chemistry

Complete 10 problems from group theory

Little bit of Duolingo (I'm learning French)

I also submitted my chemistry assignment today

I'm quite happy with how today turned out.In the afternoon I was thinking that I can't get it all done but some I managed so a little proud of myself today.

Tomorrow I'll be starting the Schaum's series for Abstract algebra.I'll not be doing it entirely now.I will just be focusing on the group theory part that is the first 10 chapters.I'm planning on doing 1 chapter a day for the next 10 days.If anyone wants to join me in solving the Schaum's series please let me know, we can do it together and keep each other accountable and help if doubts arise.It'll be just for 10 days so a very short period of time.

That is all that is there in my study part of my life right now.

I hope today treated you well as well😊If not, there is always a tomorrow🐣

Good Night 🌟

Further Maths - Mechanics Mixed Exercise 2

Doing some mechanics questions to practise because it does my head in… I got this book from my parents earlier, as it’s an old present they found - looks super interesting! Today’s a funny day bc everyone’s waiting for the football tonight haha

Do you have a lot of work this summer?

The work is not a lot but I do need to be disciplined to get it all done.

What is the most important task that you need to complete this summer ?

I have to complete my mathematics assignments.These include Vector Calculus, Integral Calculus, Real Analysis, Linear algebra and Group theory.It might look like it's a lot but it is not.I have been struggling with Group theory assignment 3.It has been such a nightmare lol.I did speak to my maths professor about this and he said he will help me out.So a bit relived for that.

Can I please disappear somewhere ?

Group theory is getting to me.Its like I know the theory but I need to apply and apply and apply and apply it till it clicks.I don't mind it but damn it's too much.I have given it a dead line of May 30 and I don't think I can complete it by then so maybe I have to extend my deadline which I don't like but yeah thats life and my brain will be happy with decision also I guess.So sorry for the rant and I hope today treated you so so well.

Apart from going insane with Group Theory I did some other stuff as well

Revised Stats

Revised chem and completed session 8-10 PowerPoint slides

Duolingo

But on a positive note my day did have some ups.I spoke with my boyfriend for like an hour and that literally was the best part of the day.2 of my friends had also video called me so I had a nice time there too.I did some cooking today for my mum and dad and they seemed to like it🤭

At the end of the day I am thankful that my blessings are greater than my problems💞

I got a proof wrong on an exam. No points. 

Then, I thought about it for fifteen minutes outside of the exam, wrote it down, nailed it. 

I showed a classmate and told him what happened. He looked frustrated. He’d clearly had this happen before, too (haven’t we all?).  He said, “Don’t you hate it when that happens?”

I almost said yes. What the h*ck!? No. No, I do not hate it when I can fathom a deeply abstracted concept in mathematics. I never hate that. I the opposite of hate that. Expecting myself to immediately understand topics like this is unrealistic. I’m proud of being able to do it at all. Who cares if I did it in the exam or within the next hour? I DID IT. It’s mine now. I can do it whenever I want. Missing points on that problem doesn’t take the knowledge out of my brain. How dare I be taught that my knowledge is useless because I didn’t have it right at that moment. It’s just as good now. 

Education is not about the arbitrary numeric number ascribed to your ability to do things quickly in an arbitrary, restricted time interval. Education is about being able to do progressively more things, to understand progressively complex things. 

Tenacity and challenging yourself far beyond your limits is a hundred times more important than getting good grades. Because, when you’re one of .4 percent of the population who possess complete knowledge on a very complex topic, nobody cares how long it took you to do it, or how well you did it the first time you tried. 

Grades don’t discover new mathematics. Mathematicians do (even the ones who failed a basic topic in mathematics because their base way of thinking was too complex). Grades don’t advance medical research. Scientists do (even the ones who had to apply for their PhD programs 3 times in a row before they got accepted). Grades don’t make science fiction into real-world technologies. Engineers do (even the ones who dropped out of school because they wanted to build things, not talk about building things). 

Knowledge is power. Skills are power. Grades are constructs. Never trade actual understanding for a semblance of understanding.

Some group theory notes that I took today.

📚Summer Studying Challenge 📚

August 8 2021: What books are you currently reading?

Yesterday I started reading 1984 by George Orwell.But I have also started two other books namely 'Men of Mathematics' by E.T.Bell and 'Music Of Primes' by Marcus du Sautoy.I have also decided to buy Anna karenina by Tolstoy after reading a post about it by @theclassicalmind.

Remember my Sunday post where I said I'm looking forward to the week because I am feeling good about it ?

Lmao Guess what happened, Monday morning I flipped and started getting anxiety attacks and could not really move much the entire day.Tuesday also it continued.Today its much better though and I'm taking it very very slowly.

If you are going through anything similar know that it won't last forever.

You are so much stronger than your anxiety.

Hello 👋

I hope all was well for you guys 🤗

So today I did the following stuff

Group Theory problems

Cooked dinner for my parents

Duolingo

Continued reading 'Wuthering Heights'

Exercised

I'm looking forward to the coming week.There is nothing special but I don't know I am just feeling good about it 🤭

My favourite quote this week

It's delightful when your imaginations come true,isn't it?

-L M Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables)

[3.48 pm]The piecewise functions that I didn't like can be solved easily using greens theorem (Happy dance ).The only condition is that the terms gotta be continuous and bounded.I did complete my targeted 20 problems a day but not at all satisfied with the topic.So I am going to do the same topic tomorrow again but I will find some different problems.It suuuuuuuccccckkkksss when you do problems and still need more problems to perfect the concept but I am going to be patient because everything will be just fine after a year.

***

[10.43 pm] I usually wind up with my studies by now but I haven't yet finished some of it. So I am going to sit for 30 more minutes and finish it all off and not push it to tomorrow. I was helping my friend with experimental values for a physics experiment. You know those scientific notations I always used to find them boring when I first learnt about them but now after actually using them so many times I have come to appreciate them very much. Those notations feel like these delicate things to me now. You gotta handle those notations with care and when you do it will give you get such an accurate answer.its just a very nice feeling to see it come together.

***

[11.45] I completed a chapter of real analysis 1 and a very small chapter in group theory.I wanted to do a bit of linear algebra but I changed my mind and so I am gonna do it tomorrow.

220 days left to go...

Will I make it ?
