// 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!

Here’s a screenshot of my Notion homepage for today! I got my template from here, but I’ve customized it a lot too! :) I’ve also started managing my work based on my energy levels and it’s literally so easy??? Like, I don’t know how I didn’t think of this earlier.
15th July - Are there any special events for you in the summer? (for example, birthdays, festivals, etc.)
If you count the college application process, then yeah

Heya ^^
The past few weeks have been stressful to say the least.My college is rushing the current semester and so a lot of info is coming in a very short period of time.Im also preparing for competitive exams so that's a little more stressey.
On the bright side I got my first dose of vaccine yesterday and I was sick today.Im feeling much better now though.
I'll update you guys with my plans tomorrow and I have also found some good maths problem sets with solutions.(Manly university math courses).I'll share them soon.
Now gotta go sleep.
I hope you are having a nice day ^^ <3

Hello! The fact few days have been horrible, and have I mentioned that my dad has made me take two SAT practice tests each day since yesterday?!?!?!?! This is the price of meeting your parents’ expectations T-T so I’m almost done with the math section and ofc I decided to abandon it and make a new post because why not?
And college applications open in two days and as you would expect, I am an AnxiousWreck™️
30th July - What would be your perfect summer day?
Just lazing around upstairs with all the windows open with a glass of orange juice and a rice bowl next to me while I watch The Disastrous Life of Saiki K until the end of time ;-;
I just felt like posting this, but here are some cards I designed with a shit ton of websites for my Game Design and Simulation class! I’m really proud of them :)) (also btw its a food game, just for some context)

Salut 👋
I just finished 30 minutes of French 🇫🇷 in Duolingo.I love the way it sounds 🤭So today I have decided to do the following stuff
Simple Harmonic Motion
Group theory Problems
Mathematics and statistics revision
I'm hungry,I'll go prepare my breakfast now.Ba bye have a wonderful day!
The first chapter of Analysis 2.The first chapter is all about limits.
I also did half of chapter 13 of analysis 1.
I also solved like 15 problems of analysis 1.
(PS:The picture is some old notes of group theory)
Hello! I really like your blog and it somehow makes me feel good and safe, your notes are really pretty! When I look at them they seem so interesting and I wish to understand them but the problem is I haven't even started university (I have just finished high school) and I'm kind of scared thinking it would be too difficult for me to grasp. It is just so different from high school math but at the same much more fascinating. Do you perhaps have any advice on how to introduce myself to it, where to start? Or should I just wait for the classes to start and then study?Best wishes to you!! Thank you
Hey @dantesdream !
I just want you to know that mathematics is difficult at the University level but it is not more difficult than any other university course.It is just different.📚
So how is mathematics different and why you shouldn't get discouraged by it?
There is an entire book written on it.It is called 'Alex's Adventures in Numberland' written by Alex Bellos.There is one particular page that I really like.It talks about how are brain perceives the world around us on a logarithmic scale but mathematics is linear and that is why we have to put the extra effort into it (To convert logarithmic to linear) but according to me this extra effort is far less than wading through hundreds of textbooks often contradicting each other that many other university courses require. Here is the cover page of the book I recommended if you would like to read it.
Apart from having a positive attitude towards it I think it'll be great if you could start studying it before your university begins.
So from where should you start?
If you know where you'll be going for your university studies then you can check if your university has uploaded their notes online and start accordingly.Some old students also usually post their notes,so see if you can get your hands on them.If these two options fail then there are two more.Oxford university has made all their mathematics notes avalilable.You can start with their Introduction to mathematics and complex numbers course (I'll put the link at the end).A student from Cambridge University named Dexter Chua also has made his notes available.You can start with Numbers and sets if you use his notes (Again I'll put the link at the end).

You should be fine with these but the beginning steps into mathematics needs a little more help.You can use the book called as 'How to prove it:A structured approach' by Daniel J. Velleman.If you can read this with the first course that you are taking (your university notes or Oxbridge notes) then I think you'll enjoy the course more just like I did.Here is the image of the book
If you want to know more then I'm just a message away so feel free to ask your doubts.
And thank you for all your compliments hehe ^_^
[9.33 am] I already finished studying 20 problems of vector calculus.I did line integrals and piecewise functions.I am not that confident in calculating the integrals of Piece wise functions though so gotta work on that.

[1.11] Yayy just finished a chapter in group theory.I was explaining it aloud and my mom came in and said "You are gonna hurt your throat". I don't know just feeling nice about it.Maybe something like appreciating little stuff ^^

[10.35 pm] Yayy (happy dance) done for the day.So let me tell you what happened after the previous update.So I slept in the afternoon and my dad woke me up saying my mom was preparing my favourite sabudana vada ( Maybe I'll take a picture next time?).Yeah so the evening started nicely.Then I did a chapter of analysis. 1.I did some drawing and colouring (I'll put the pic here ) I thought it was messy and did not like it but my friends did (Yeah I sent it to them ^^).After dinner I did half a chapter of linear algebra and I am calling it a day day day.

221 days left to go...
Will I make it ?
