day 14 // 100dop

So yeah I didn't get through all the material before tutorial but it's okay, the TA went over everything we need to know and I think it went well 🙂

Also I'm such a (happy) idiot. I've never taken notes primarily from textbooks before. In high school I relied 100% on the lectures, which were already very neatly broken up. That all changed in uni and I used to just have like...1 enormous page per enormous chapter and I hated it. But now I'm breaking up each chapter into different pages and each section of a chapter into subpages with meaningful titles (essentially the textbook sections for the most part, so the solution was staring right at me!!!) AND MY BRAIN LIKES IT SM BETTER AND IT'S SO COMMON SENSE WHY DID I NOT DO THIS BEFORE

Anyway! Here's what I did for school today asides from tutorial:

Forced myself to write notes on phase diagrams (which I covered yesterday)

Wrote notes for 3 sections on solution phase changes (sections which I covered yesterday but only got half of and...I was lazy last night and didn't write notes on anything 🥲 but now I get it so it's all good 😅)

Outlined notes for remaining chapters

Finished last practice problem set of the semester! 🙌

Day 8 : What do you find difficult within your subject(s)?

Haha haha ha. 😑 If we're talking about a single topic, the entire quantum mechanics week was hell for my brain. But...I think the super squished timeframe is the absolute worst and most difficult thing. In a normal term, we'd have 2 weeks for 1 module and omg would that have been way more fun and manageable and presumably at least a week to review for the final 😭 but in this schedule, I only have like 3 days (officially - and I doubt I'd be able to start reviewing any sooner 🤷‍♀️) to review *EVERYTHING* LIKE IDK WHAT I'M GONNA DO BUT I'M DOING IT ANYWAY 🤪🤪🤪
