Many things happen. My application got accepted for BSc Mathematics course at Szeged SZTE, so I'm starting there soon.

Category theory is amazing, I enjoy studying mathematics a lot. I experience a lot of the things Eugenia Cheng talks about. For example I came to appriciate the power of symbols, and concise mathematical expressions. I now notice patterns all over the place and began to see how the basic building blocks, and underlying patterns of different areas of mathematics are really the same. Sort of the same?

I use the many awesome learning techniques I learned from the Huberman lab, practicing self-testing, simple recall and microrests all-day-long.

Inspired by Maryam Mirzakhani's visual mathematics I started drawing simpler form tiling patterns, and knots. With category theory diagrams, drawings, symbols, analogies and journals, doing mathematics came to resemble work at art uni. Which is really pleasant satisfying, and deeply meaningful.

Sometimes I study from ETH Zurich scripts, a brilliant way to learn another language while doing something I enjoy. I enjoy the typography, aesthetics of LaTeX documents.
