Wow I kinda screwed up my time management this week. I had my first tests for my university classes today. Turns out, my school semester has been going on for 3 weeks and I hadn't really shown up to most of my classes or studied for any of the material prior to this week. I was kinda panicking with how I was gonna schedule my time with all the math I was doing in the morning and other coding related hobbies that took up the rest of my time. I ended up dropping some of the coding hobbies out of my time schedule and studying for those tests with my time instead. I probably will be dropping those coding hobbies for good to focus more on school. It is too stressful for my mental to study for school last minute anytime I see a test pop up in my calendar and I am scared having that bad mental will affect my performance in other areas in my life such as learning about AI. I will probably be adopting good study habits for my school courses from now on.
Good news though, I finished reading all of Paul's math notes and doing most of the exercise examples in it. I also took a quick glance at a lot of the problems in the MML book that I was struggling with a few weeks ago, and I was able to think about ways that I would go about solving them pretty easily now. I can't tell if it's because the MML book is just a terrible resource for learning math as a beginner or if it's because I spent more time to understand and get good at linear algebra. I don't really care though, I am happy that I understand how to do those problems now.
I think I will spend the next few weeks or so finalizing understanding chapter 2 of the MML book and moving onto chapter 3 and 4, which is just more linear algebra. Unfortunately, I will probably not have as much time to do ML learning this week because I have to travel to America for 3 days due to a CTF competition that I signed up for a month ago, but other than that I expect no real blockers to my time other than schoolwork and my coding hobbies, which I believe I have time managed pretty well now.
That's all I got to write about now. I hope I make some good progress on reading the MML book by next week :)
