13 days til school starts
and then at least my geeky schedule won’t be self-imposed.
I’m down to the last day of notes from EDA – then it’s time to make sure I can still do all the problems from the homeworks and tests. The math stat problems I’ve been doing have been going surprisingly smoothly. There’s one chapter where I definitely need to bone up on the theorems, and a couple of tricky standard problems I need to memorize the tricks from, but overall I have the warm feeling of having actually learned the subject.
Researchwise I’ve got some nice simulation code set up and figured out how to run it on the server. And a list of papers to collect and read. But first I need to dig into my algorithms and see why they’re performing so badly
It looks like I’m going to be entering my first judo tournament next weekend. It’s surprisingly pricey, but eh – it’s at my local club so I couldn’t ask for a less scary first tournament.
