Hi, I've not been able to study or pay attention to my electrical/electronics engineering course for the whole of this and last year due to 0 motivation.
I'm interested in the topic but because, I'm guessing, of not being able to create anything on my own with the knowledge from studying , my motivation dried up a long time ago.
therefore, I need to remedy this asap! Is there any sort of electronics kit to companion a book like "practical electronics... "or "art of electronics" which a cheapskate like me can afford and use to create stuff/ go through exercises? How about oscilloscopes and other equipment?

No clue what's good or what's important and looking through stuff like this makes my brain melt and I'm pretty scared of wasting money on trash. Has anyone gone through a similar thing and would recommend some products.
It would be very helpful
also, is there a parts list of equipment to look for in building this sort of home lab?
