Just finished my matrix computation tutorial, in the midst of understand tay's proof for graph theory. Whether I understand his proof or not greatly affects my morale for the rest of the day, I either feel accompanished or demoralised, nothing in between.

Graph theory tutorial questions, each proof requires just a trick. When you've thought of the right trick to use, the question would be solved easily. And sometimes, I've to spend hours thinking of the trick to use. Maybe analysis requires tricks too. But to me, it's more of dealing with inequalities, moving absolute signs in and out, looking at the definition and working backwards.

I actually felt slightly comforted when I knew someone who is smarter has more A+ than I do actually feels unappreciated and stressed. I know this is very sadistic of me. But then, I just can't help feeling this way. At least, even if I can't find someone on the same boat as me, I know there's someone on the next boat, sailing in the same direction as I am. Even if I may be the one drowning in sea and he may survive, or vice versa, or both drown together or whatsoever, at least, I know there's someone going through the same tides, braving the same waves and storms.

I guess, if he's my friend, I'll probably try to shower him with some nice words. And the fact that he's stressed probably won't make me feel any better.

Just like when I know my friends are stressed (I wonder why everybody is kind of stressed right now), I'll try to listen, and then entertain them with other stuff. I think all they need to do is to walk around math department and canteen with me, and they'll be entertained by the stupid things I do on the way.

We've to undergo some hardships now. Eventually, we'll all survive. :)
