Day 26, Tuesday, More peaceful studying

Studied biology for two and a half hours. Bio study is going well and becoming a habit. Today, I examined classical metabolism, which will include glycolysis, the krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. I focused on glycolysis today. At some points, had a hard time concentration and got distracted by trying to make a Ruby program to "implement" a model of these metabolic processes.

Studied math for four hours. It's taken me 26 years to find out what a rational number is. I didn't know that the numerator and denominator of a rational number had to be integers. This came up in one of today's exercises. It also came up a couple months ago while reading Russell's History of Western Philosophy, and I began to wonder about it.

Worked on my programming project for 4 hours. Solved a problem that should've only taken me a little while... But at least I solved it.
