  • crazy week!!

    This is me writing about a school week on a Sunday lmao. So… a lot of things happened this week. And not a lot of them are preferable, but that’s okay. It’s always good to learn how to survive through things thrown at you. Imagine a scenario like this—you’re sitting in your English class on…

  • we are back!!

    It’s been pretty eventful this past two weeks, which is why I didn’t really have much time to write something up., but here we are. This post isn’t really gonna have a main topic, but I’ll just write about what’s been happening since my last post. First of all—things got pretty busy as soon as…

  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • sph4u: field theory

    This summer I’ve been doing tutoring for physics (SPH4U) and it’s been great. Until we got to the third unit, appropriately named Gravitational, Electric, and Magnetic Fields. This is the first unit that has served as an actual roadblock. The previous units, Dynamics and Energy & Momentum, honestly weren’t a problem at all. These units…
