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...

Tim Hortons: An In-depth Review

As I sit here pretending to be a scriptwriter at a budget Starbucks  Tim Hortons, feeling slightly out of place, I write this review. This will be an attempt at a new series on my blog, since I've been dry with ideas since returning to Canada. Tim Hortons is a Canadian classic coffee shop turned fast food restaurant while still retaining its coffeeshop status. Apparently, it used to be excellent until they changed coffee beans, but that was before my coffee drinking days so I and most people around my age probably feel the same (we don't feel anything about the changed beans). It also used to be cheap, but since high-status coffee shops like the aforementioned Starbucks and Second Cup somehow get away with charging 10$ for a drink, the friendly neighborhood Canadian brand jacks prices to compete. At least it still has its loyal customers. Fun fact, the first Tim's restaurant was in my hometown of Hamilton! It's also the usual go-to spot for a quick bathroom brea...

"Creative yet Clickbaity Title on Solar Energy!"

In the last post, I talked about what the Sun was. A giant nuclear fusion reactor. And since it is so good at being the Sun, it not only provides heat to our Earth, but also light. Lots of light. Hopefully, this isn't news to you (yikes!). Light is an interesting thing we very much take for granted. Look around, there is light in the room you're in, light coming from the screen you're reading this on (unless you're psycho and still print things..) and light from outside. Even at night! The light from the moon, isn't really light from the moon, but a reflection of light from the Sun. Did I just blow your mind? Probably not.. I guess I'm failing as a writer. There is a lot of light available, and all that light also carries energy, rather, it is energy. In reality, the light from your phone screen doesn't really have the potential to power anything, neither does a light bulb. But think about how many light bulbs it would take to equal the amount of light t...
