understand is a bad verb for learning objectives. let's make these actionable things.

for theoretical concepts, "be able to explain" is better. additionally "identify 3 abstractions", "compare and contrast X and Y", "describe the tradeoffs with Z"

we should also have actionable code things.

plz re-write them ❤️

* Understand "boot to kmain" and why it has to happen.
* Understand talking to hardware.
* Understand some basic OS abstractions.

## Schedule

The schedule is structured like a song, in [ABABCB] form. Some popular songs with
this structure:

[ABABCB]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_structure#Variation_on_the_basic_structure

* “What’s Love Got To Do With it” by Tina Turner
* “Girl” by The Beatles
* “Hot N Cold” by Katy Perry

There's three kinds of sections: verses, choruses, and a bridge. (A is "verse",
B is "chorus", C is "bridge".)

* The chorus contains the main idea, or big picture, of what is being expressed
lyrically and musically.
* The verse contains the details of the song. Each verse is different.
* The bridge is a device that is used to break up the repetitive pattern of the song.

this all seems good except we need a environment setup part so the timing here all needs to shift. also as you already know, i think the timing here is Ambitious.

### Verse: Background (30 mins)

### Chorus: VGA Driver (90 mins)

### Verse: Let's talk about the boot process (30 mins)

### Chorus: Boot to kmain (90 mins)

### Bridge: Interrupts (60 mins)

### Chorus: Other abstractions (60 mins)
