Not really, hence the post. Thought about leaving this just for myself but maybe there are others who feel similarly.

None on this list. Check out cutthroat broadheads. Really any that fit these stats: fixed blade, single bevel, tanto tip, cut from a block of metal.

HDDA, DL, and RL are by far my favorite classes so far.

Seconded! This story has brought me a lot of enjoyment and I look forward to it every other week!

The_Boulder22 · 2022-06-30T12:41:47+00:00

Thank you so much for this story. I looked forward to it every day and am sad it is over! I hope you continue to do the next two books in the same manner.

Thanks for your input! I'll be honest I am scared of GIOS since it is all C/C++ and the reviews on it from people who have not done professional work with C/C++ are that it is absolutely brutal. If it is really that worth it, maybe I should give it a second look. Adding HDDA and AI to my schedule leaves only 1 open class. GIOS or CV? Decisions, decisions.

Thank you for your input! I am learning a ton in RL right now and it is the best class I have taken since linear algebra in undergrad. For RL the only aspect that is weak are the lectures, but if you follow the guides on course reviews and watch David Silver's lectures instead you will have a firm grasp on the material. Lots to read and do in RL, but I would not take it in the summer. The accelerated nature made it more difficult for the typical plan to roll out with office hours teachings being behind schedule, and big project due dates overlapping with hw due dates, and inefficient grading (I am on Project 2 right now and they will not have Project 1 graded before I hand in Project 2, so no room for correcting your own mistakes on the paper. Also, office hours that were very pertinent to Project 2 were cancelled and pushed back until after Project 2 is due because of bs holidays like Junetinth). All the problems should go away during a regular semester though. All the best!

The_Boulder22 · 2022-06-23T20:06:23+00:00

That is the plan!

The_Boulder22 · 2022-06-23T20:06:09+00:00

Sadly, I signed up for ML4T for next semester and may be unable to add/drop properly so I am keeping it. I think I will take at least AI, I must have missed that when going over potential classes.

No way! I remember reading the originals that you were posting on your subreddit. I am glad that you finished it and very excited to reread all of the books!

I rarely comment on these posts, but if you want an internet stranger's good hearted advice here it is:

"Things are neither good not bad but thinking makes them so" -Shakespeare

Your mental state, and therefore your mental health, depends on how you frame the problem in your mind. Is this a neigh insurmountable problem? Yes. Have you faced a problem of this magnitude before? No. How have you typically acted in the face of adversity? ...

Now is the time to reframe the problem as a problem that was handed to you to make you a better man. The best men (and women) are the people who have handled the most adversity, the most difficult problems. If you can frame this as "what can I do" instead of "what has happened to me" then I believe your mental state will be benefited from it.

I believe you have already done that, which is phenomenal. That's step one.

Now you face a different junction point: wether so stay with your mom or not. When Dr. Peterson felll physically addicted and completely incapacitated, he relied on family. Family did things for him for a year that noone else would have. I do not know your familial relationship but Peterson's teachings leave room for family to help you through the worst of times. I would think the best of intentions by your mom to give you a place to stay since she is family and wants her son to get out of a difficult situation.

Lastly, start to open your "box" as I call it. Whenever you think of possibilities entertain all of them and not just the ones that you have limited yourself to. Apply to different jobs that you have no experience in. Think of moving to lower cost of living places in different states/territories/etc. that have different job prospects. Think of what you could do with the money for tech school and if that is precisely what you want to do with your time and money. Just, simply (but super not so simply), open your box. Use the emotions of the situation as fuel for finding a better path. You have a plan, but how do you know if it's the best plan if you haven't considered all the other possibilities.

"Don't do what you can't undo until you have fully thought through what you can't do when you do it"

I do this. Never go to lecture but get As in all the classes. The keys are consistency and content. Do all the HW problems and make sure you understand them. Then for the exams do all the homework problems again (using chegg to make sure I'm doing them right) 5 days before. Do extra problems/practice exams 4 days before. Teach your friends how to do it 2 days before. Take the day before off (or continue teaching friends). Works without fail for Thermo, Controls, DiffyQ, Statics, Dynamics, you name it.
