brrly babbles!!

guys i don't know why i'm so nervous right now but i think it's because i just got a message saying i am now co social media director for this nonprofit that focuses on bridging the gender gap in competition mathematics and it made me reminded that i really really REALLY need to lock in if i want to qualify for AIME this year and get into PROMYS. if u have no idea what either or those are then i will update u because i love to babble as you can tell by the numerous blog posts i have posted.  every year, the mathematical american association administers the AMC 8, 10, and 12. it is a math test that is much much harder than your normal highschool math test, simply because it requires so much creative and analytical thinking that is typically not taught in highschool. in fact i scored very badly on the amc 10 this year and that is also due to the fact that i did not study much this year but i still did pretty badly. also the time crunch was another thing. also i have been revi...

hello everyone! i know i already posted a blog post today about some math proofs book i'm reading but i wanted to post another one about how i'm currently feeling in life because i feel like i have changed a bit over the past few months!!! first i really want to talk about ap testing because i am very happy about that and then i will just talk about my life in general and how i am feeling! in my past blog posts i've been talking about the mass amounts of stress that have been bringing me down and making me very not happy!!! i don't know when this stopped happening but it was around a month and a half ago and let's just say i am so glad i am not super super stressed anymore. i haven't been super mad in a while and when i am it's just annoyance and it goes away in a bit. it's also usually when i'm trying to solve some hard math problem. actually it's always when i'm trying to solve a hard math problem i don't really get mad any other time. ...

hello everyone!!! today i finished my very first videogame and let's just say the process took quite a while but it was all worth it in the end because i have gained so much experienced in game development and i also have lots of motivation to continue making videogames!!!  i made the game with my english group for a research project on the topic of world war 1 and we chose to specifically research the lives of farmerettes and how the war affected women. our game was called farmerette and centered around our main character whose husband died in battle and wrote a journal full of entries addressed to her. instead of having the husband send letters to his wife he wrote journal entries because letters were heavily censored and we wanted to communicate the truth and horror of the war to be through the game anyways i did a majority of the coding except once part which was clicking through the journal but otherwise i did everything for the coding aspect of the game and i am very proud of...

hello everyone! this brrly babbles post marks the beginning of a series of blog posts about a math book that i'm reading AKA how to prove it!! i want to learn how to read and write mathematical proofs because i love math and i want to do more with math and in the future i will probably major in something very math-heavy like physics or just math itself so i might as well get ahead while i can! also i have practically nothing to do at home for math homework because i complete it all at school when i don't feel like paying attention during class. ANYWAYS enough babbling let's get into chapter 1.2 which is truth tables!!! i am very confused on this one example so i'm writing out my thoughts on this blog so i can sort them and eventually understand the example because i cannot wrap my head around this until i get it out into some coherent sentences!!!!! the example is basically about drawing conclusions based on information that we already know while using logical connectiv...
