2 Hour Study / in late afternoon with sound of rain 🌧️ & typing / 50-10 Pomodoro / 2時間勉強 / 240612

Hi all, I currently study in the corner of Osaka, Japan.
From September 2024, I will be a graduate student at the University of Glasgow, pursuing computer science. As I'm shifting from politics to computer science, I'm currently learning the basics to prepare myself. I started recording videos as my friend suggested it would help keep me motivated. It certainly does.

My study sessions mainly involve math, databases, and algorithms. Given the amount of coding involved, you'll often see me typing on a computer.

I am not a genius. I don't understand equations instantly or identify code errors in the blink of an eye. It takes minutes of thinking, dozens of queries to chatGPT, and a few quiet curses towards my screen and textbooks until making sense of each problem. As an average learner, my strategy centers on consistency, repetition, and gradual learning and improvement. Thus, in each Pomodoro cycle, I try to review what I've done and how I can improve my learning approach.

Sometimes, I sit at my desk, working on a single issue for 3 hours without making any progress. In videos, my study might seem smooth and comfortable but in reality, I'm constantly taking two steps back after two steps forward. I believe many of you can relate to it.

On YouTube, it's common to see others effortlessly solve problems that we find challenging. This can sometimes shake my confidence, tempting me to give up and just watch. However, I want to embrace a gritty, seemingly negligible small-step approach and leave the trace of my journey here.

I hope these videos will serve as useful and encouraging resources on your journey. I am all for the ordinaries who are struggling to keep up in some corner of this world. wishing the best for you.
