☆fortnight of exams 9-11/14

~technically the home stretch but really doesn't feel like it

~topology exam went well but revising has completely sucked the life out of me

~just group theory to go. going to finish problem sheets today and then try and get through the three mock papers tomorrow

[chaucers]

what on god's green earth was that exam

☆fortnight of exams 7-8/14

~missed a day but im literally so burnt-out at this point

~i just want to read and sleep

☆fornight of exams 6/14

~day old pompompurin on the board whilst discussing the strange confusion of notation between theoretical physics and pure mathematics

~beginning to lose motivation - thank god for hot chocolate

☆fornight of exams 5/14

~snow rearing its head again

~trudging across ice in order to make it to a 9am differential equations exam on a saturday

~8+ hours of studying before going to see sentimental value at the cinema

☆fornight of exams 4/14

~rainy england reminding me of why i love my home

~full differential equations review including doing a review of the first mock paper

6th of January, 2026

Did mock exam 1 for Quantum Information

Did mock exam 1 for Advanced Quantum Mechanics

Did mock exam 3 for Relativity and Fundamental Particles

Re-did all of my Quantum Mechanics assignments

Revised Chapter 6, 10 and 11 of Quantum Information

{ Notes of the day: I am now a firm believer that most of quantum mechanics was just sheer schizoposting. }

this life is just about burnt-out academic victims and their emotional support classical composer to study to

☆fornight of exams 2/14

~how the day started vs how it ended

~measure theory exam completed; very happy to find it was quite similar to the past paper (singular) but there was a strange question about continuity of the parametric form of a lebesgue measurable function

~celebrated with brown sugar milk tea and my favourite salted egg noodles

[chaucers]

☆fornight of exams 1/14

~trying desperately to romanticise the most stressful time of the the season

~9 hours straight of a module i still don't quite understand

~measure theory exam tomorrow; just looking forward more to a celebratory bubble tea afterwards more than anything

me: can we get derivatives?

mom: we have derivatives at home.
