Another quarter begins… January 12
and I already feel behind. I’m taking two real classes this time, Algorithm Design and Probabilistic Learning. The PL course is already tough, starting with the first homework…I thought I knew something about probability models, but apparently not. So I’m getting reaquainted rather quickly. It is an exciting class though, and the instructor seems really good and well organized. Other than that, I’m playing tennis, doing TKD, and trying to get back into shape. I’ve started running more, as well as increasing my core workout. I’ve started at a 7 minute mile, and trying to get that down to 6:30 before the end of the month. The tennis class is good as well, lots of challenging players taking it.
I also went skiing for the first time over Winter Break, that was an experience! Thanks Melissa for trying to teach me, and staying somewhat patient. I can at least get down the mountain in one piece!
Not much else going on, hoping to find some time to go ski again, but need to get some winter clothes first!
Research is going, although it has been stalled over break. Going to start in earnest now!
Edit: Why is it warmer in Indiana than in SoCal right now?!?! WTF, mate…
