Off we go...
The semester is off to a roaring start. Everything seems to be going great. Heres a breakdown of what I'm taking:
CSC/MAT 325 - Numerical Methods (mathematical programming)
PSY 456 - Physiological Psychology (the physiology of the brain, how it works)
CSC 475 - Machine Vision (how to build eyes for a computer)
CSC 112 - Flash Programming (how to write flash programs, duh)
FST 318 - Screenwriting I (WOW! Bet that one caught you off guard? In an attempt to live the way I want from this point forward, I have decided to take up screen writing and give it a try. No, I don't want to make movies for a living, this is purely a hobby. I love movies, I love writing, and I have all kinds of great ideas for movies. Hence, it only makes sense that I would do screen writing! So I am.)
Of course, I will continue working in Dr. Keiths lab, and on my honors project. As well I will try to work 5 or 10 hours a week at GE. Sounds like a lot, but I really enjoy everything I'm doing, so its not difficult.
On the research front, I'm moving full steam ahead as well. Dr. Tag and I discussed writing up part of my project for a conference in May today, as well as taking a paper on the whole project to one of the conferences in Canada I mentioned previously. One way or the other, I'm going somewhere!
Working out is going well, and my daily food intake is appropriate. Still having a little trouble switching from soda to water, but I'm doing better than I was previously.
Just about finished with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, although I think I'm going to have to re-read it. I'm starting to grasp what hes talking about, but when I first started reading the last few chapters of the book, he blew me away. Hes writing along casually jumping back and forth between the story of a trip he and his son took, and some vague philosophical ideas. Then, all of the sudden, WHAM! He smacks down a logical attack rarely seen. I plan to meditate on some of the ideas he discusses and then write about them. They all have to do with the gap between science and art, those that love technology and those that fear it, classical thought and romantic thought. However you want to say it, I think you probably know what I mean.
I'm going to re-read the first half of Zen and the Art of Archery, it also got really deep all of the sudden. I got really lost to the point I think re-reading is the only way to get back on track.
Well, that about brings you up to date. Some more philosophical thoughts coming soon.
