These sectionees are kind of brutal in their evaluations. But I guess I’m not a terrific TA. I’ll just have to try harder next quarter, or something.
New Lene Marlin album!
My ankles and knees kind of hurt. I think I’m going to start trying to swim instead of jogging to the gym. The pools at Avery Aquatic Center are heated, which is pretty sweet.
I think I’m losing hearing in my left ear. When I’m asleep, somehow I can’t hear anything through it. Usually, I regain hearing after an hour or so of waking, but I think it’s getting worse now. Not sure if it has to do with swimming, but it started before I swam, so I’m probably going deaf.
I’m pretty much braindead after this last round of homeworks. Just 2 more weeks until spring break woooooooo.
I lost my thermos. I hate losing things. And now I have no container to keep my beverages piping hot in class. This makes it very difficult to burn my mouth while listening to lectures.
These statistics classes seem to love Taylor series. Also, the Newton-Raphson method. Also, the product rule. All things I didn’t think I’d ever see again after that first year calculus class.
Neural networks make no sense.
Curved exponential families make no sense.
I’m a little worried about my fantasy basketball team. It’s teetering on sucking, and playoffs are just a couple weeks away.
I’ve pretty much done no work this weekend. I did watch 5 movies (courtesy of Stanford library’s media center) though: The Deer Hunter; The Squid and the Whale; Margot at the Wedding; I, Robot; and Meet the Parents. Not a bad bunch, although Deer Hunter wasn’t exactly a pick me up. I thought Margot at the Wedding was hilarious in moments. I also have a headache from staring at the monitor for too long.
I realized that the red stuff on the bottom of my TKD pants and feet wasn’t blood, but rather the color from the mats that seems to rub off. That’s good news.
My motivation level has sunk to its low again. I should’ve figured that over a quarter of enthusiasm was already a lot to ask for. Now I just need to somehow survive the rest of this quarter and the next, and the summer, and then another quarter, and then another and another. Then I’ll be done with my master’s!
Swan Lake is almost upon us. I’m going to try to go to ~4 shows. It’s kind of a lot of time commitment in a week, so we’ll see how that goes.
I think I’m going to have to expand my beverage repertoire. Water, orange juice, and tea is getting a little monotonous. What imbibement will be the next hot thing? I don’t really know.
I’m sad, tired, and bored. All’s right with the world.
