I was in the Library this morning and some kid was wearing a t-shirt that said “Property of Abercrombie and Fitch.” I thought it was ironic.
I am writing this from one of the lecture halls in the Chemistry Building. I have to be back in St. Mark’s for the Collegium concert in twenty [...]

Just did a little more poking around with the Programming Languages project. Wrote a crappy typing function that matches the definition he gave us, which is a start. It doesn’t seem to do anything, though. I’ll go pick his brain tomorrow morning.
Dinner with the family was nice. Good food, nice to [...]
Got in about 2½ hours of reading this morning for my Learning final exam. Got through about half of one question out of 12. The easy half. Probably one of the more time consuming in terms of research though, so hopefully next session I can get two done. Had lunch at [...]
Just got back from my run, had a shower, heading to breafast at The Buck. This place is really a ghost town this morning. I was running along Alumni road (or whatever road Gampel is on) and I could look either way all the way down the road without a car in sight. [...]
Just finished a first reading of “Cognitive Wheels: The Frame Problem of AI”, an essay out of Daniel Dennett’s Brainchildren: Essays on Designing Minds. I’m quite certain that I don’t understand the Frame Problem to any degree just yet, but I do get the sense that he strayed from McCarthy and Hayes. I [...]
Holy shit, this project is going to be tough. One week. Damn.
Well, I read the article on Guthrie. Unfortunately because I’m so behind, that’s all I’m going to do today for the “normal” part of my Learning course. I might have some honors conversion stuff penciled in for later. We’ll see if I get to it.
Ah yes. I’m supposed to read the [...]
Been going pretty hardcore since yesterday morning. Woke up yesterday around 8:00 and worked on the study questions until noon, at which time I went to Turvey’s office and talked with him about them for 50 minutes. Turns out I was working on the questions we hadn’t even covered in class yet. [...]
Got up at 7:30 today, went for a run. Had a shower, couldn’t find Niamh anywhere. Turns out she was on the phone calling realtors to make appointments to see apartments in College Town, PA on Friday. She didn’t have time to go to breakfast, so I went to the dining hall [...]
There was a time in my life when I thought it was important for me to know the words to “Come On Eileen”.
