It's Rui's beautiful Mandelbrot Set from the 16th of September

Hey Rui, awesome journals, gotta love those fractals! Just a question (which is probably predictable coming from me), why did you drop actuarial studies? Are the 2nd/3rd year subjects excessively hard, or were you just not enjoying it? (It always terrifies me seeing students who are doing much better than me drop it...)

Thanks :)
Hmm, I didn't really mind the intro course last year, but the CT1 course this year ruined a lot at around halfway in. (See UNSW reviews for slightly more opinion on that.) By that point, my interest (no pun intended haha) had flown out drastically. The way they taught forwards/futures/swaps/options didn't even make sense anymore and I complained a lot more than I ever did last year.
Tbh, probably would've just gone back to commerce, but ironically actuarial studies itself was what got me into computing.
I wouldn't say they were "hard" - if I had stayed interested I would probably have performed better as well.
Also, nah, I've seen someone better than me drop as well.

Midsem break finally started.
And I'm stressed.
Gotta work on this lecture.. gotta catch up on stuff for literally every single course i do now, because once again I'm at that point in life where I just can't learn. Ugh. Assignments and exams that I don't wanna sit.
Filed that scholarship application and already a bit ceebs to apply for the rest. Tsk.
Slightly sickening feeling that this lecture won't go as well as the previous one.
I just want a break, really. Or some new kind of motivation to do work. All four of my courses aren't as amusing as they once were
