what is the purpose of this page? what is the mission?

quite simply, i just want to explore mathematics at my own pace, unrestricted by deadlines and exam requirements. i want to journal too and share my writing sometimes. the blog's aesthetic is going to be hyper-feminine, and its contents will be messy and a little vulnerable at times, because i'm not worried about marketing myself to employers while we're here. it's just about my journey with the content itself. i don't think anybody is going to see this, but if they do i hope they feel seen for as long as they're here. everybody is welcome, but i have a particular soft spot for twenty-somethings of average intelligence and no clue about what to do with their lives.

a bit about me, i did an undergrad in mathematics by accident. i just picked it randomly because i flunked my physics a-level and ended up in clearing. for the largest part of my degree i was barely passing my modules but not dropping out because i was afraid of disappointing my parents. it was only in my third year (majority elective modules) that i actually started going to lectures regularly and paying attention to this stuff. i guess i'm a late bloomer in that sense, i only started appreciating what i had when it came to an end. it's not all bad though, i'm doing a masters in mathematics so i have another year with the subject left. i want to revisit some things from the first and second year that i was too zoned out for.

interact with this blog however you want. if you're just here for mathematics notes, go ahead and ignore the sappy stuff (though double check them because i'm still shaky on my knowledge). if you're only here for the writing or the self-care side of things then you're free to ignore the academic stuff. a lot of people haven't done maths since they were sixteen and would prefer to keep it that way, i get it. i'm a big believer in taking what resonates and leaving what doesn't, which is exactly how i hope people interact with my work.
