decided to show off my notion *:･ﾟ★*:･ﾟ☆

i mostly see people using the inbuilt “not started” “in progress” and “completed” tags but as someone who is the complete opposite of a perfectionist i really needed that “close enough xddd” tag

i really want to make the layout more cohesive but this is the only way it can look normal on both a computer and an ipad

also wish they gave us the power to put pictures next to databases alreadyyyyy

Imagine finding out 2 days before the test that an effective estimate and sufficient statistic are both statistics

Can’t be me

So I made this summary mindmap beast in an attempt to remember all the formulae for the test tomorrow

Well I sure disappeared.. for a while….

I somehow managed to get semi normal grades last semester and now that I’m on meds i’m actually showing up to class and getting those sweet ‘go up to the board and do an exercise’ participation points

I also picked up mandarin chinese 1 but the class is slugging along so i’m learning HSK 1 grammar points in my own time for fun as well as cursive hanzi writing

Pics: chinese, math stat 2, renormalization methods in qft, stuff for my masters thesis which im starting very late cause reasons

Guess who has not been using notion cause they’re not used to writing tasks down and marking them complete, nor doing them on time (hint: it’s me).

Somehow (thanks to focusing hard on it and working through it religiously) I actually get probability theory 2 now, but now functional analysis 2 is the issue (but at least the professor for this is normal).

I’ll be having my first tests in a few weeks and I am not emotionally ready for that.

It’s been four score and twenty years since I last posted and promised to post daily.. And like 3 days since I tried to post but my wifi fucked me over and the post got deleted

It was decided today that in 3 weeks I’ll do a seminar about knots to the two others being supervised by my supervisor. I know nothing about knots as of now, so I’ll have fun reading through Knots and Physics for the first time.

First actual day of masters and I managed to snag myself an instructor!

I’ll definitely be taking optimal leading theory, optimisation, functional analysis 2 (don’t think about the fact that I haven’t taken functional analysis 1), probability theory 2, and probability theory and statistics 2.

Since I’m not sure if there are any classes I should take this semester related to my field (geometry) I’m registered to mathematical models, but it sounds like I’ll be dropping it for the geometry seminar.

On the menu for this weekend:

• Design survey questionnaire for factor analysis (I’m doing a research study to determine why so few math students are using online tutoring at my institution)
• Get approval from Institutional Research department to deploy my survey
• Diddle around with Tableau (I want to build a faculty-facing data dashboard breaking down tutoring utilization at my institution)

Y’all, I think I’m doing it! I think I’m growing into a baby data scientist!

Since I found out my grad program DOESN’T start today (they misprinted an updatedstart date — it actually begins the 25th), I unexpectedly have a little more time to enjoy myself before dipping into the full grad-grind!

I have been spending some of my leisure time tending to numerous plants, including my new (and growing) propagation station, as featured above! Currently, I’m trying to establish 3 buddies. From left to right are mint (already planted), ??? (Truly, I’ve no idea what the buddy living in the syrup bottle is), Zamioculcas zamiifolia (“ZZ”), and… a green onion!

Delightfully, the green onion is already growing new roots. The ZZ I’m less sure of. In general, I don’t know how well ZZs take to water propagation, but so far it’s leaves are still supple. As for the ??? plant, it has been hanging in water for weeks without rooting! Even so, it also remains pretty supple. So I guess we’ll just see how it goes, huh?

Unfortunately, most of the extra time will be devoted to the work-grind instead. The following are on this week’s menu of To-Dos:

• Finalize and publish the Spring tutoring schedule
• Co-write the conclusion/analysis for a small research paper (So excited!!)
• Finish developing “Welcome Back!” assignments

As much as I’m enjoying a break, COVID has me stir-crazy and I’m really looking forward to getting started on the next steps of my future career! As such, I cannot wait until I can get started with my program. By then, I should have more relevant and interesting content to share.

I finally finished the corset! Pictures to follow when I buy the lacings.
