listening to: āgood news,ā by k.flay, and the rinderpest episode of this podcast will kill you
eating: an incredibly sexy recipe for sausage + chorizo tortellini with a spicy tomato and spinach sauce. my kitchen smells like how italian restaurants want you to believe italy smells. iāll try the recipe again soon, with some tweaks iāve been thinking about, and then maybe post it?
shh, these are yesterdayās pictures! i didnāt get much done today, or at least not for uni-- i did a lot of reading and research into a health issue affecting my family, which was distracting. the research was helpful, but i think iāve reached the point where itās worrying me more than itās calming me down; tomorrow iāll try to distract myself, and get some more review done!
khan academy is becoming a problem. i keep opening it to do something, and then itāll say āyouāre 25% away from mastery of differential calculus!ā or ādonāt you want to learn about the mean value theorem?ā and iāll do that instead of the other subjects i need to be studying. khan academy has successfully gamified calculus, and itās too effective.
hey, mathblr who write in cursive-- i have a question for you. when you write variables, do you print them, or do you use the same handwriting? when you write the product of two variables, like āab,ā do you join them up? iāve noticed that sometimes i print them, and sometimes i write them cursive but separate, and occasionally iāll join them up, but it doesnāt look quite right. iām curious about how other people write things.
