finally… a school post
(this is a long one… at least to me) Something that I primarily wanted to do when I first started this blog was to write about my daily life and share any memorable snippets that I might want to remember for the future. The problem was that basically nothing exciting would ever happen during the…

grade 12 timetable
This is probably the only time I’ve ever been mad at the guidance department at my school—and it just had to be during the most important year of high school. I’m not even mad about the teachers; I don’t hold a grudge against any of those names beneath the censor bars. If anything, I should…

thanks, prof leonard
(short lil post this time) I’ve finally finished Professor Leonard’s Calculus 1 course on YouTube, and I need to admit that this guy is nothing short of a perfect teacher. Never have I seen a teacher with such a clear, informative, and meticulous style of teaching. All of this might sound like a complete exaggeration,…

strangers on a bench
A few days ago I realized how dry my music has been getting recently. All the artists that I’ve been listening to have gotten pretty boring with how much I’ve used Spotify over this past summer, and I really felt like I needed something new. This is when I remembered that I also haven’t listened…

kinematics epiphany!?!
There hasn’t been a lot to blog about recently, so this is another calculus post. Sorry to the math dislikers… I’ve reached the second last chapter of my Calculus 1 self studying journey, which inevitably includes a fundamental part of calculus, the indefinite integral. I’m not particularly deep into the topic, but it’s surprising how…

calculus
This summer has undeniably been about the busiest summer of my life. School’s starting up in 3 weeks, and so far I’ve gone through both Physics and Advanced Functions. After finishing that, I made the grand decision to work through calculus with the time I have left. Because why not? it just seemed like the…

of mice and men
I recently finished Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and felt just about obligated to blog about it. I won’t go in depth on any major spoilers in this post, but if you do plan on reading this book in the future, I’d stop reading right about now. For a book that’s only about…

ipad for notes
Last summer when I went to see my family in China, my uncle insisted that he would get me a gift. He originally wanted to get me a drone, but I’m not really interested in those things, nor is it super legal to fly those in Ontario. So he got me an iPad Air instead.…

top of my school
I wanted to blog about this gem of a video I found today. I’ve probably watched a handful of short films and musicals in my life, and I’ve never had any strong opinions about any of them, but I think this one might be up there with one of the best videos I’ve found on…

emotional stories
It’s 9:43 PM, just finished my tutoring homework for the day and I remembered that I still have a website. Might as well post something. When I was first searching for a book to read, I was considering things that I enjoy in other media. To be frank, I’m not much of a movie or…
