-Hey there! Welcome to my blog sort of thing. I _definitely_ don't post nonsensical stuff here. It's mostly about philosophy, life, people and observations. You're free to view the posts as you like, although there's the [archive](/blog/archive/) you can go to. You can also scroll down on this page and browse by #tags.

-## Update
-umm... [:It's harder than I thought](#:xLore). I couldn't grasp a lot of things. Isometries officially kicked my butt. I realised that it was not great for a 10th Grader (soon to be 11th) like me. Perhaps I need a bit more BASIC-Basic Mathematics. 
-For now, I am putting an hold on grinding Basic Mathematics by Serge Lang. I will continue learning math from Khan Academy and much more.
 
-**What about the future?** Well, I want to keep posting about math, regardless of the source. I will keep posting what I learn, what is interesting and what is not.
+**venture** 
+_noun_: a risky or daring journecy or undertaking. {.edit}
 
-Definitely, a lot to learn. I will soon start my Grade 11, and it's going to get ~~~~~ real soon. Let's hope for the best!
+This part of my blog is about the things I encounter on my venture through the land of the Mathematics. Beware, there exists some things that are beyond understanding.
 
-Keep practicing!

-## :x Lore
-I have been studying Serge Lang's [Basic Mathematics](https://amzn.to/3UElWTL) with the help of Real Physics' [lectures](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMcpDl1Pr-viA25VUkHNmcUkWx9usPgyb&si=W4iXHhkpfITEBTtL) to up my "game" in maths. I want to revisit the fundamentals and develop a better foundation.
-
-I am hoping to finish the book by the end of June. I haven't "grinded" textbooks this way before, but I know that this is going to be a great experience.
-
-This is where I update things and tell you all about the things I have learned.
+Happy Math!
