The Venus project is after the Mars project (I also wrote an article on that), it mainly consists of learning how to code, design games, and make game art! Nicolas, Cassie and I were all part of this project, Cassie focused on learning art, Nicolas focused on coding, and I learned everything (even though it […]
In another article, I mentioned that my Chinese handwriting was not very good. But it wasn’t just my handwriting, my Chinese speaking and reading skills were not good either. Why? Because after I dropped out of school 5 years ago, I focused all my attention on English; which did pay off considering I am writing […]
I practiced my English writing a couple of different ways these years. I started writing a novel about super-intelligent pigs, did writing exercises, read textbooks… This year, I took a different approach, my method was to first read a news/magazine article, and then write my own version, describing the same things. After that, I would […]
Around Fall this year, Nicolas, Cassie and I went on a road trip from Beijing to Suzhou. It would take about 13 hours to drive there, so we stopped in cities along the way. Sleeping challenges First, we arrived at Jinan, it took about 4 and a half hours… I sat in the front seat, […]
I never had a database to keep track of my stuff. And whenever people ask me, it’s really hard to explain my whole learning system. 7 Attempts! So we decide to make a portfolio website, which is a website that helps people get to know me and my learning experiences in a big picture way! […]
Coding My Own App? I first knew about Make School when I was learning to code on Khan Academy, there was a link to their website, and when I looked, I found out that it was a camp where you can make an APP of you’re own in three weeks. This is just what I […]
Starting Riding The first time I got in contact with a horse was in Germany. I was living outside of Hamburg and taking German classes from a mentor called Annie. Annie works at a stable, so every now and then, I went horse riding with her! Even though I only sat on the horse and […]
Math, Physics, and Chemistry are needed in many places. for example, when I’m coding, it requires a lot of math and even physics sometimes. 3 years in 1 I don’t learn things year by year like in school, instead, I learn things in periods, for example, in one period, I focus on exercising and fitness, […]
Computers are Complex! We didn’t just learn about programming and stuff, we also learned about how the computer works, how storage works, what the CPU is, and a whole bunch of other things too! Learning all those things can take years, so we didn’t dive deep into those things, instead, we learned the big […]
