some changes

by MP8148, Nov 6, 2020, 9:21 AM

Last week I had a serious life evaluation, and I decided that perhaps playing around on Geogebra isn't the best use of my time. I originally started doing it because (a) obviously I like geo and (b) I thought it was better than playing clash royale and tried to replace it. However, now that I think about it, for (a) I can still do problems from past contests (not nearly as time-consuming), and (b) is no longer a problem. I also sorta lost motivation, so yeah I haven't touched ggb for a week :\

On the bright side, I began to pick up some old hobbies: reading and playing Go. I started reading The Shining and is currently half way through the book. I bought it at the beginning of the school year, thinking mistakenly that it's required for English class (didn't know it's a horror novel lmao). Since then it had been lying on my desk, silently screaming for me to read it, so I guess I fulfilled its wish. I just hope the rest of the book won't give me nightmares.

As for Go, I started a KGS account (old account got deleted after two years of inactivity lol) and played a couple games this week. Ngl I enjoyed having an unknown rank (the default for new accounts) and getting matched against low-kyu players; feels like cyberbullying oops :rotfl:. Anyways I got to 6d earlier today which matches my highest rank in 9th grade. Maybe I haven't gotten that much worse? Hmm we'll see.
I took the MAT yesterday, and didn't do as well as I wanted. :( I blame having to wear a stupid mask.

oof

other person who took the MAT that ik also missed the divergence

it's ok? don't stress too much; the int potentially matters more oof not good at interviews

what college did you apply to? for uk just oxford and imperial

and yeah they're a bit harsh imo? I got 42/60 on the proof questions last year, despite having most stuff right. rip now I'm even more worried

but literally it doesn't matter what your score is because they look relative to other ppl anyway.

  • The question is, how will it end?
    and the smart answer is "I won't be alive to see it end so I won't care and I will just get this midterm done"

  • well the universe will end anyways
