Recent stuff
by Wiggle Wam, Feb 15, 2019, 6:45 PM
Scrolled through the AoPS blogroll for a couple of minutes. There seem to be 2 main topics for recent posts: AMC and Valentine's Day. So here's my experience with both of them.
I haven't done competition math in, like, a year? Maybe more? (I'll probably eventually make a post on why I kind of quit competitions.) Decided to take the AMC on a whim, though, as this will be my last year to take it, and I'm pretty sure I qualified for AIME! I'm actually motivated to spend the next month brushing up on my competition math skills to see if I can get a halfway decent AIME score. It'll be nice to have a little throwback to those halcyon days of tackling math problems just for the fun of it, and not worry too much about what scores other people are getting.
Next, Valentine's Day. I figured oh, what the heck, I'm gonna send a cute boy something. I texted him the equation for a 3D surface shaped like a heart. He responded with "...". Conclusion: Maybe I should stick to academics.

I feel like starting a blog...

...because I'm at a slightly awkward time in my life. So of course, the only sensible thing to do in such a time is to overshare on the internet.
I suppose that on this site there are people around my age with similar interests as me, so hopefully some of this stuff will be relatable? I'll probably talk about my thoughts/feelings/discoveries that arise as I attempt to properly "human," and also other random stuff that I feel like sharing.
This super-creative (not) title is a pun of sorts on my name, which if you don't know, you can probably guess. I'm also on instagram as @nottheivyleague, so if you would like to see the occasional awkward, forced, trying-way-too-hard picture of me, give me a follow.
I hope this blog provides some comic relief, if anything. Enjoy.
