Paper In!

There is still one missing assignment for this class but I don't have a clue on how to do it so I just emailed my professor telling him that. We'll see what he comes up with, but beyond that I'm done!!

Next class starts on Tuesday, it will be strange to be going to class on Tuesday and Thursday nights again. However it's the final senior project and is pass/fail so the grade I get this month is my last graded undergraduate class. About freaking time!

So until I hear back from the professor I'm going to enjoy the 70+ degree weather and quite possibly start on my garage. Or just screw around, which seems more likely.

Final Done!

My professor only required me to do half the final and the rest for extra credit so I've turned in at least that and now it's back to the paper.

However I"m taking the rest of the night off and I'll dive back into the paper tomorrow.

Got almost all of my transportation for the epic May thing done, still need to do the Graduation arrangements but at least I have plane tickets.

Bit less stress is a good thing.

Update

It's been a few weeks, kind of been doing school and nothing else.

Almost done with my last real class, got my final exam today and it looks doable. Have a paper that is about 3/4 written and then an Expert Systems thing to do and six more days to do it in, but it's not impossible.

This class is hard, Artificial Intelligence Programming, but it's fascinating. Haven't done much around the house since the roommates left, need to get on that, and need to finish making reservations for the trips this summer, but so far so good.

I emailed family but if anyone else wants to come to graduation let me know and I'll get out details. It's June 7th here in San Diego.

Back to school work!

Grades Again

Got an A in Artificial Intelligence! I put a lot of work into it so I'm very happy about that, and very happy with my professor for being a bit more accommodating to my schedule that he really had to be. That gives me a 3.36 GPA with only this one class left grade wise (the last two classes don't count towards my GPA).

So after two weeks of letting my brain rest and doing lots of non school type stuff I'm back, pretty much non stop till May 2nd when I'm done! Even with another A this month I won't get a 3.5 but I'm fine with 3.3 to 3.4. I've ordered the new textbooks for this class, it's called "AI Programming" which should be pretty intense.

One paper (at least) and I have my first few assignments, big assignments, but I'm actually pretty excited. I really needed that break!

Roommates are pretty much out, Salvation Army is coming to pick stuff up any min. I'm not nearly done re-arranging things but I'll work on it as time goes on. My goal is a min of 5 to 6 hours of real school work a day, adding to that if I need to, taking Sunday off and possibly Saturday if I feel comfortable. That is still less than a full time job so maybe I'll extend it, but it's time to get focused and learn this stuff.

So I'm all rambling but very excited!!

It's Dead Jim

After almost 15 years the Kitchen Aid mixer has finally died. It only has two speeds now, really really fast so the flour ends up all over the kitchen, and labored I think it may explode. So I found the new fancy one on sale and ordered it. More than I wanted to spend but I figure if this one lasts me another 15 years it's more than worth it.

Poor mixer, lots of bread, cookies, a ton of pretzels and quite a few pizzas, he served me well. Now Good Will gets him.
