she/her. will also accept they/them and will correct you if you use he/him

apparently reviewing classes is good

iap 2021

18.095: first time actually skipping classes consistently, but this is mostly because the lectures are recorded
puzzles: new crypto just dropped, i was one of the first investors. therefore my next year will be filled with me figuring out how to invest.

fall 2021

24.901: has a large amount of friends in it, class is also not hard
24.902: has a small amount of friends in it, class is also not easy
18.100b: c o n v e r g e
18.510: really hard, and the class i fall asleep in the most, but topic is probably my favorite topic within math
sts.s20: the only class i use my computer keyboard for
18.701 grading: darn i forgot all of 18.701
puzzles: i partially testsolved teammate hunt, also this year has been really heavy in puzzle hunts

spring 2021

24.900: definitely the class i tune out of the least, this class was my favorite class at least with respect to lectures
24.241: dropped, because it conflicts with 24.900 which is a more interesting class, replaced by 24.118
24.118: is actually a more interesting class than 24.900 solely because it's completely asynchronous and i like the topic nearly as much as 24.900, also, iirc the main professor is the guy who won that large number contest. However, I ended up dropping this to listener because assignment grading is kinda tough
18.212: learned that Postnikov grade cutoffs are very lenient, after i put this class on pe/ne

- since i'm taking 5 classes this semester i made sure as many of them are as fun as possible, combo is my favorite part of math

5.111: sadge, the funny professor's classes have ended and he overshadows the other prof so much

- the only reason i'm taking this over 3.091 is because most of the people i've talked to so far are also taking this. also should have put this class on pe/ne instead of 18.212

6.0001: is over now

- this class seemed kinda important for me to take

fall 2020

21W.022 writing autobiography: i got to write about minecraft, and apparently i have the most notable themes in my essays
18.701 algebra 1: this class really became 18.03+18.100 in the last week
18.03 diff eq: darn i have to memorize stuff
8.02 physics 2: cruising through this because i took (and failed) the ase
