Failing, SIMO and bob.

I know, great title.

Well well, It's been a little while. The last time I sent one of these I was super pumped for a test I was totally ready for... which turned out to be pretty damn false. I failed it.

I almost passed though! To be fair the class as a whole is completely out of my element so learning from scratch at this type of pace sucks. I know I know that's an excuse, but fuck don't judge me. I say that with love.

The good news is I absolutely killed the calculus exam this week and reinstilled my confidence that I'm not wasting my time here. Two down, three more to go, well for this month at least. Crazy, right?

So after this devastating episode of knowingly failing this test as I wrote it, I felt pretty damn shitty. And like, I never feel like that cause who the fuck feels... Just kidding, but my upsetness inspired my Dad to send way too many messages attempting to cheer/re-motivate me. His likely google search for these quotes probably looked something like: "father to son encouraging quotes" or some bullshit. Needless to say, thank you for the thought pops.

I hope this isn't depressing...

I'm missing the first family event this weekend and that sucks, wish I could be there. But I have 2 Saturday lectures and an exam to prepare for instead... SO MUCH FUN.

Fun, what even is fun? It's been two and a half weeks and I haven't experienced anything fun, unless solving derivatives is fun for some people. I'm basically at the point of disabling my group chat notifications because I am really feeling the FOMO. Again, those who aren't with the current times, I'll be helpful and tell you that FOMO is the "Fear of Missing Out". But I don't really think I am experiencing FOMO as much as SIMO, "Shit, I'm missing out". I totally just made that up and am officially coining it. So to all 30 readers that I have, this is your notice that I now own the acronym "SIMO".

I don't really have much else to say since absolutely nothing goes on except watching youtube videos and tv shows, and doing math.

Holy shit eh, this was depressing.

"Gosh Jay, stop being so melodramatic and do some more fucking math!"

That's bob, the voice in my head that constantly tells me to do math. Yup, that's what my nights have come to.

Thanks for reading!

Euroblog Part 7

This series ended up being far longer than I anticipated. I could make an ebook about my travels! Who am I kidding, no one would want to read that... let alone buy it. Also, side note: Polarsteps was so great up until a couple days ago when it went haywire and threw a bunch of phantom travel paths on my map. Support said it has been fixed however, there was no way to remove the phantom lines. This all makes for a ton of work for me to redo all of the travel steps. It's unfortunate but I understand these things happen. Anyway, it's all updated now and working as it should, sorry to my 7000  7 followers for any inconvenience. Now that it's all back to normal, here is the link if you'd like to check out my trip! If you missed any of the series, check it out on my social media feeds or on my blog homepage. The last post is right here! July 22 2017 Wow, am I ever behind on this. [Left off in Florence] So I went up the massive dome of the Florence Cathedral...

Let's Talk About Timelines

This was originally going to be solely a discussion on time travel. However, discussing the timeline is a rather good starting point before or while discussing time travel. I've always wanted to write about my thoughts on time and time travel. It is one of those obscure enough topics where anyone can theorize about the generalities of it. But are those theories based in any realm of realism? There are well-respected theorists like Stephen Hawking who have gone into great detail regarding time travel. There are a ton of TV shows and movies which go to great lengths to be as accurate as possible. In our current understanding of physics, time travel is mathematically allowed. But the reality is that we just don't know, yet. Perhaps there is another law of physics we have yet to discover which proves time travel is fundamentally not possible. But it's fun to think about regardless. Let's start simple. If I were to build a time machine right now, would I be able to use i...

My Covid-19 Analysis

Hi Everyone. Been a while... We live in interesting times right now. There is a global behavioural shift happening all because of this nanoscale warrior that barley classifies as a living thing. Covid-19 has disrupted the world faster and more efficiently than almost any other thing in the last few decades. All of the news and social media out there about the virus is scary, and rightfully so. But it's important to stay informed about the facts, and I'm here to help arm you with them through this pandemic. Below is a report that highlights Covid-19's Global, Canadian and Ontarian reach. There are plenty of visuals out there tasked with doing the same, but this is mine. It's a static report because I'm not rich enough to afford a license for the software I use (thanks work!). Data is accumulated daily from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the Canadian government's outbreak update site and Ontario's Data Catalog. Take a look an...
