Supervisor probably can read the panic from my email.
But then I already found mistakes in the maths notation in the doc I just sent....variables! I don't know how to write in maths.

f* fine I deciphered this.
I am amazed by myself.

Does this student seriously expect me to be able to decipher this.

for brevity.... but not for clarity, is it.

Supervisor gets very distracted by my Room of Requirements zoom backgroud.
I might as well use TARDIS next time.

I don't understand the maths I can't understand and I can't explain the maths I understand to people who don't understand.
# je ne pouvais comprendre les mathématiques.

Writing case study on the course makes me miss its chocolate.

another year another array of interesting student names....
and I forgot algorithms entirely. and I am so bad at maths.

Me, looking at the 'master-slave' in paper title: I thought they have changed that
Me: what did they change that to
Me: Dominant-submissive
Me: THAT IS EVEN WORSE
(well maybe not worse but)
(they haven't changed it to a universally agreed term yet, by the look of wiki.)
D-S would be actually quite accurate in controllers though.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO USE SLACK
WHY
what is wrong with emails
aaarrrgghhh.

New semester has on campus TA, which means
I probably can access the fkng office printer, finally
I don't have to write down all the maths proof in X Boyen's papers!

I spent too much time shouting angrily at bad (or badly written) papers.

The department announced the people in the faculty who will be leaving in the new semester.
It does feel sadder when there are people you've talked and worked with I guess.

well I want to see their implementation of social distancing rules.

I can't believe a kinda formal report quoted from 'popular legend' but the joke itself is

quote of the day:
“Autonomous” and “automated” are not synonyms, and neither are “autonomy” and “automation”.

actually yeah that's right...
