studying math
i feel like i spent the entirety of the week on math problems.
again, i've heard that 8th grade math tests are hard, and since it's been a while since i touched 8th grade material, i decided to familiarize myself with the concepts and problems. so i told myself i'll be finishing a 최상위수학 (디딤돌) before 8th grade starts, which would mean i'll be doing one unit per week.
unfortunately, i've discovered that solving math problems takes a lot of time, and especially cuz i procrastinated a lot at the start of this week, it was very hard to complete all the problems i had given myself. and 최상위수학 i believe has less problems than other workbooks!
as a result, i could not get my hands on anything besides math, and i barely completed solving all the problems, except for one. but even if i did, i am not very satisfied because
- i was pressured all the way and now i feel like i'm sick of math (bro you only did it for a week)
- i did not have time to check over my solutions to see where i made the most mistakes or whether they were like logical??? idk the word
- i did not have time to check whether i understood the basic concepts
which reminds me a lot of hagwon. but at least i understand 8th grade stuff more than 11th grade and i can edit my plans when i need to. and i always finish my tasks, the hagwon never really cared and kept giving me new tasks when i wasn't done with the old ones. so i guess it's a plus?
anyways i will try to make time to do other things besides math but how do i do that, like that feels like telling myself that i need to get things done quickly, ignoring all the time i spend to understand things and go on rabbit holes. but on the other hand i need to get things done.
