I forgot about how uneventful regular school days are. Yup.
Woke up earlier than usual today, with a reason: I really hadn’t prepared much for that in class essay for CMPT 320. I mean, I had read Searle’s paper on his argument (against Strong AI having understanding) but I hadn’t written anything on paper yet. So, I had breakfast, headed up to the hill 45 minutes early, and started on organizing some thoughts. Had 310, more about minimax searching for AI solving of board games.
Then two more hours of no class, so I prepped more, ate lunch; finished a decent outline and had a solid concrete of the main topics with time to spare, so I headed over to see how UCM’ers were doing. Said hi, told Ryn about the Grover-Sesame Street Old Spice thing, helped with a cranium game, saw a jenga tower fall.
In class essay went well, 371 after that, I pulled my laptop out as usual since I don’t really need to take notes in that class(powerpoint on website) and I had already read the chapter dealing with the topic(reliable data transfer) a few weeks ago. And whaddya know, another coop interview, and one where I would have a very flexible option on scheduling. Finished up internet’ing whilst glancing at the ppt slides, headed home.
Took the metrotown path this time through, and the line for the 49 bus was really long, luckily the 430 showed up at the same time as the 49, so I got a seat and got home quickly enough.
Supper, and youth. The young’ns were rowdy as usual, but more well behaved than usual during sharing since we had guests. Good games, didn’t remind Kyle to bring snack, so he didn’t bring it. Hmmm. Need to get on top of making that schedule; also need to get Tim to get a concrete list of the youth so I can do that.
Also, last night’s hockey game did not go well. Played a team who hasn’t lost or even tied yet, and we’re in a division higher than usual. Smoked, 8 to 1. I think my +/- was only -2 though.
