How Did You Grow To Enjoy It? What About It Do You Enjoy?

How did you grow to enjoy it? What about it do you enjoy?

Hi, if you're referencing my recent renewed interest in maths, then it happened quite randomly. I wanted to see if I could still do highschool maths, so I found my old textbook online and tried some questions. As it turns out, I actually enjoyed solving the problems and seeing the logic and reasoning behind them, and now I want to study again.

I was walking back to my dorm and I saw a group of students carefully following this cat and taking photos of it in an almost paparazzi way, and the cat just looked so exasperated? Like, yes you can take a picture but just this once I have places to be and things to do.

I wish I had taken a photo, it looked just like something out of a comedy still.

Growing up is being neutral at best about maths throughout school only to accidentally fall in love with it later on in life

Thank you for the tag @ros3ybabe!

Last song: Second Chance by Peter Bjorn and John

Currently watching: Rewatching Suits again because that show's soundtrack is definitely one of my top 10 (I have around 50ish songs used in Suits in my library and the list is growing again).

Sweet/Savoury/Spicy: Definitely savoury, but lightly sweet is also good, like red-bean bread or matcha cake type of sweet.

Current Obsession: I don't really have an obsession now, other than trying to manage my extra-curriculars with my studies and social life.

March 2024 Reading List 📚🎧☕

Done:

All the light we cannot see by Anthony Doerr (Decided to re-read this before giving the mini-series a go. A brilliant but sad book imo.)

Current:

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov (I gave up on the original version and switched to the English translation, Russian literature: 1, Me: 0)

To-read:

48 Laws of Power by Robert Green (I still haven't gotten around to finding the time to read this)

Beartown by Fredrik Backman ( I decided to restart reading it, as I was quite busy at the time and lost the hang of the plot)

女人就是要有钱/ Women just want money by 刘忆如 - Liú Yìrú (My first proper book in Chinese! This book appears to be a self-help/financial advice book and judging by the plot description it's definitely worth reading - I have an online copy for those interested btw! The target audience seems to be for those in their 30s so I guess I'm getting an early head start)

Classes have started so I'm taking this month easy whilst I try to ease back into my usual routine. But do feel free to recommend me some books for April please!
