cheat sheet dilemma

if you need one, you have to much stuff to write on it and you can only write down a few things that you think may be important. If you do not need one you are allowed to have one and have no idea what to add on the space you still have left. Linear algebra is horrific and i am worried i do not manage to get the needed 40%, however there is not much i can write on my legal cheat sheet, because mostly everything isn't too hard if you understood it, but the problem is to understand it and to know what rules to apply on what task. It will be quite tricky and i just hope that there are enough tasks with clear solutions and not tasks that confuse the hell out of me to begin with.

Kern, Rang, Bild, duale Basis...

... und so weiter. All diese Begriffe gehen mir nichtmehr aus dem Kopf und ich habe keine Lust mehr zu lernen. Vielleicht lasse ich den heutigen Nachmittag und Abend als kleine Pause um den Kopf frei zu bekommen. Heute Mittag habe ich mir die Probeklausur nochmals angeguckt und eigentlich, rein theoretisch müsste ich die Hälfte schaffen und die andere Hälfte müsste ich zumindestens ansatzweise mit dem erlaubtem Spickzettel auf die Reihe bekommen, ich darf mich nur auf keinen Fall verrechnen am Montag, was schwierig wird wenn die lausur soo früh am Morgen stattfindet.

A rather bad minecraft update

Creepers might be cool for adventure players, but the new update makes it nearly impossible to play with mobs anymore for any player who likes to play. Creepers now have enhanced intelligence and always find you, not that they were not hard and annoying to begin with, but now they can even find you when you are around corners and stuff and their new weakness its cats, which are extremely hard to find anyway. I don't really like this new changes, but well another week and things may change into other directions again.

Nightmare Thursday

Yeah i had a nightmare about college last night, my professor read out names who got to write the exam and for my name he read out that i have to take an extra test to get accepted for examination, because apparently it seemed like i was getting worse at college. I was quite shocked and got into an argument with the professor and then it seemed like he would make my collegelife the hell on earth x(. Then i woke up, well i woke not really up i fell asleep again for a lot of times until i realised that i was late. So i hurried and got my train in time. At university it was like every thursday, 10 hours of linear algebra, but this time it didn't tire me as much as it normally does. I'm actually quite okay now that i'm home 13 hours after i woke up today. But still it was a heck of a last day of this semester's college.

errare mathematicum est

So today after lecture i wanted to test some mechanics for linear algebra and just wrote down some random numbers and tested calculating some results with different mechanics and i always got nonsense results. I actually did not make a mistake in how to use these, but i always got mixed up with some numbers, eventhough i used a calculator and in my exam i am not even allowed to use a calculator, so i will probably get similar mistakes in my exam. x( And it really will not be great to not manage to get to the 50% that is needed just because i calculate stuff wrong. haha

One week left...

...of studying linear algebra for the greater good. Today i learnt most things that are actually good to calculate things. And i'm getting a feeling that my chances of surviving the exam are actually getting better and better. It's still a long way to go and i have to learn a lot of definitions by heart in the next days. Luckily we are all allowed to write one paper with definitions and everything we want as help for the exam and additionally for having more than 50% on all this homework i get 10% of extra points for the exam so i only have to manage to get 40%, which is still a lot considering the amount of things we have to study and know.

Minecraft gets better and better and i have less and less time to play

Yeah pretty much what the title says, there is a new awesome animal and finally its possible to grow the jungle trees, it makes me just want to play from the beginning again, maybe even with friends on a new server and do all the awesome things, but i have to wait until i finished the exams before i even start thinking about playing again. Meanwhile i have to study linear algebra and get prepared for the big exams, because this will not be an easy task, at all and it's about time to study daily and on a regular basis now that on monday i dont have any more homework to care about. But don't get me wrong with all this rants about my college, i actually still love the college and the subject i chose is amazing, it's just stressfull like everything you want in life.

Linear Algebra of Death

Getting up at 6 in the morning is horrible, but getting up just for 4 hours of lecture, 4 hours of reading and 2 hours of lessons and that all for linear algebra is just too much. I did not bring my computer to the college and in the 4 hours i had time to read i've read to around page 100 of a script and my head just was full after it. And the worst part is that i still do not feel any more secure about my abilities at this subject. Tomorrow i may have to study even more, but for now the evenings i will use to get my head free. I reach home again at 7pm like every thursday, but what a day, college is hardcore.

Piles of paperwork

So in the last two days i used up 10€ for just copying and printing. Few hundret pages of mathematical history, formulars, theorems and lemmas. On my trainway home i looked through the first 15 pages of a script from another linear algebra I lecture, because our script quite sucks a lot. It is very good and i hope it features everything important we need to know, because i have no idea how else i can get a system through all these pages of matrices and sum symbols. linear algebra is just horrific to begin with and i have to keep focused to make it through this horrible exam. After i got through this exam the next one is just waiting around the corner, i have one week to study analysis, but there i at least know how i can study and i understand what i'm doing a bit more. And after that there is only one more little test, which won't be a problem. i have lots of stuff to read through, but i just have to have a general jist of it and not remember hundrets of formulars and theorems.

Chinese New Year

puhhh, xiaomao you maybe should not read this^^ i sit here in front of my computer and am not sure what to write. Everyone who was there know how it was for me, it was amazing. There were not many germans at all (maybe 5), but it was great to teach my language skills in a dating game o_O. Playing Uno with others and watching others play another card game that apparently only exists in china but looked amazing (a bit like magic). And trying to sing some songs at karaoke. The whole evening was quite fun, although i'm not quite sure how i ended up in that dating game. So i stood there in front of 6 girls and had to introduce myself and then i had to choose the girl i liked most from the first look write it on the hand of the moderator and then wait for the girls to show me if they were interested or not. I quite liked to see what total stranger girls would think about me and surprisingly even more than half of them said they would like me. Made me feel quite proud of myself xD. After that i talked quite a bit with the girl i chose in the beginning of that game and it was quite a nice talk, although there were lots of language problems i suppose.

Ohhh, ohhh AND I ATE JIAOZI!!! xD
