  • 422 TAing.

  • Image Understanding II.

  • Sensorimotor Computation.

  • Machine Learning.

The final push begins. I have 18 hours 34 minutes to get one last paper written. See you on the other side, folks.

With 23 minutes to spare, I am done.

A week ago I was dreading this writeup, because I had nothing. Even this morning I was thinking I only had the bare minimum of a real project. As I wrote it, I came to realize it was actually quite interesting. (Though that might just be the Stockholm Syndrome talking.) I still have no idea what kind of marks I'll get, but I'm happy with what I did. I might even have to continue working on this for fun.

I've ended up rather proud of all three of my projects. Machine learning because it went from absolute crap to a simply gorgeous and endearingly quirky paper with real results in just 5 days. Image because the system really truly works and will probably get used in the competition this summer. Even sensorimotor, which I really had been thinking of as nothing more than hardware lols -- I'm really glad I forced myself to go back into the lab yesterday and do another 16 data collection runs, and profile the slow pan irregularities. The paper really benefited from it.

I can sleep again! I can read fiction! I can... start worrying about finding a thesis. :)
