yeah
[11.32 am]I have ODE lab viva soon and I am terrified but hopefully, it will be over soon. I have given myself the task of completing 20 problems of vector calculus.
***
[3.20 pm] I did start but there has been a dip in my motivation.So I guess I will just take a nice bath, cook some snacks for myself and my parents and then sit and study again.
***
[9.45 pm] I am done for the day.Today I did some problems on vector calculus.I don't know why but I felt tired in the evening and just could not sit and solve stuff so I did not force myself.There is some kind of peace in calculating the angle between two very complex surfaces don't you think? Only if I had more energy to go through it.But now I remember also loving the concept of directional derivative.It is not done yet so gotta continue tomorrow.
222 days left to go..
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.

Heya
I hope today treated you well
So today I did the following stuff
Revised Linear Algebra and revised the anki cards of linear algebra that I made yesterday
Did some problems on linear algebra
The surest way to succeed is through repetition of the material and by solving past papers 📝 So make sure you do finish it 3 Days before the exam.
Peace✌️
🐼3rd July and 4th July of Summer Studying Challenge 2021🐼
The work is not a lot but I do need to be disciplined to get it all done.
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.

Heya!!
It's a beautiful day here and I have decided to do the following stuff
Complete revising Differential Equations ( I have an exam on it next week)
Finish the last assignment of Group theory
Revise Group theory Problems
I hope you have a wonderful day ^^<3
