how much study are you doing in the holidays? (1 Viewer)

[souli]

thank you omg!!! if i do okay i might upload it to bos. yeah choosing subjects is stressful, i'm really enjoying it so far. the objective thing is definitely a worry but i do a lot of history and english which can have similar issues so i'm sort of used to it

I get you! If you post it I'll defo give it a read.. I'm sure you'll do great, don't stress !!

hopefully 2-3 hrs/day (it will likely turn into /week or /month )

i've had covid for 5 days (ngl not that bad) and all the holiday hw stuff i brought in my carryon (which weighed like 8kg bcz of it) is somewhere else so i've just been making math topic qn compilations to learn LaTeX

god on my list of what to not trust tiktok for, books is absolutely one of them . but i'll recommend my two favourite books ever - the midnight library by matt haig (+if you liked that, how to stop time was also very good, by the same author) and good omens by neil gaiman and terry pratchett. i like historical fiction, if you're into that you should check out fatherland by robert harris (alternate history detective novel on germany post-ww2 had they won), it's a detective thriller and starts off with a murder that branches out into a much bigger conspiracy, it was really good.

have you got any recommendations? i really want to read a ton before school starts, i miss reading a lot

TYSM for the recs!! Gosh ur a life saver. Hmm, what kind of genres are you into? I try to read broad so I'm certain I can find one you'll enjoy.

oh same i try to read broad as well - any genre is fine actually, but lately i've been getting into actually interesting thriller mysteries and magical realism

OOhh I don't read many from magical realism.. have you read Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami?


Otherwise some good thrillers/psychological thrillers [I like the latter the most, to be honest]

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Dream Town by David Baldacci
Dead Zone by Stephen King
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
Verity by Colleen Hoover
A World of Curiosities by Louise Penny
The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn

Most of these are available online as free PDF's on sites like zlibrary and pdfdrive (books can be so expensive tsk tsk). Let me know if you get around to reading them!! Hope you enjoy them, I know I did!!

i watched the woman in the window on netflix, though it was kinda mid even though it had an interesting premise, never knew it was a book. i'll check it out. i've been planning to read kafka on the shore since i read norwegian wood by the same author which i also liked, but i forgot about it whoops... thanks for the recommendations!

i miss zlibrary i know it's still available on tor but i haven't gotten the browser yet... rest in peace to the best book site i could ever ask for

what’s tor and how do i access it? zlibrary was where i got all my textbooks from

 

[mmmmmmmmaaaaaaa]

It's just another search engine, like google chrome or safari. If you type in something like 'tor browser' it should come up and give a way to download.

Reason it is 'dangerous' is that it is one of the ways to access the dark web

 

[Average Boreduser]

isnt tor that browser where all those Ecriminals use to hack and get on the dark web?

I read that msg a little too carefully. Sounded like you were stalking a woman while she watched tv...

yes

TOR is a different type of browser used to access the deep/dark web (i forgot which). just search up TOR browser and install (i suggest a yt tutorial for this but i haven't done so personally YET). the link would probably be zlib.onion (all links end in .onion for tor)

 

[Aeonium]

not necessarily hack but yes i'm pretty sure it has large amounts of ties to illegal activities

Tor is a browser that emphasises privacy and censor-free usage of the internet so while that means we're able to access zlibrary and stuff on there if you go actively searching for stuff you would find on the dark web you would. and it does have illegal activities because that's on the dark web, but technically using zlibrary is illegal too (that's why the fbi shut it down )

Out of curiosity, now that the holidays are over, how much did everyone actually get done?

Out of curiosity, not that the holidays are over, how much did everyone actually get done?

I went over mod 6 of chem and bio in the holidays, started modern history notes for the core study, did integration and vectors for ext 2 (and reviewed proofs) and did some common module work (rewrote an essay 3 times )

Most of this work was done in January though, December I was at the Gold Coast and didn't feel bothered how about you?

did half of an essay (tho holidays are barely over)
quite a lot of physics and math prep
