Today I studied a little of fluid mech. Actually all of it. Took me 3 hours or so. And I wasted the rest of my time. Not really wasted; just didn't study. I don't know what else to study honestly. I'm confident for day 1 and 3. Confident as in, confident that I learned what I need to learn. It includes day 2 too, I suppose. It's just that I haven't had much practice for some day 2 subjects. Mostly just the obscure ones. I think I can find it in Perry's though.
Is that arrogant? I'm not doing this to show off. I mean, doing the other things. Like piano and writing. I know, bad use of period. But I want to say it that way. I suppose it's insensitive, if anything. But then that viewpoint is largely rooted from our smart-shaming culture. Because people think I'm smart. When in reality, I just enjoy learning things.
If I spend an extra hour a day of studying, for the past 15 years that would have been 5475 hours of learning. And I spend more than just 1 hour. It's an accumulated advantage; every extra hour that has been built into my foundations is a stepping stone to quickly learn more in the next hour.
So it's not that I don't study well; I already have been doing that for years.
Of course, pre-test preparations are important too. Like body condition, feeling of the exam, having a feel of the questions, etc etc. In all honesty I've had a knack for that ever since the SAT but I also recognize that those things feel stupid. Because they're not really useful in real life. But then I want to do what I can too so I'll be using those.
So there's that.
I also played LoL with my brother after his ChE 101 exam. I played Lux and I did pretty well. We won; it was a very good game.
I've upped the tempo of revolutionary etude to 116. It's pretty decent now, so I guess I'll perfect it at that speed and then increase slowly to 160. I also tries playing Für Elise with a metronome, and I found out I was playing it too fast. As in really fast. And that my finger slips a lot. So I'll be working on those two before I proceed to others. I have a list actually, but the next two I think is Grande Valse Brillante and Moonlight Sonata. I've played them before too, it's just that I never really took it seriously.
I want to wriiite! I have a lot of things in mind. But I'm killing myself with these useless hobbies. I really need to focus.
