Cry just a little…
Currently listening to: Beau Brummels - Just a Little…
I had my last lecture today. I have 4 exams next week, then I’m (more or less) footloose and fancy free. 
3B was the most hectic term I’ve had so far. Pre midterm, it’s not so bad… but University of Waterloo, as always, figures out a way to kick it up a notch.
I’ve got conditional USRA grant (University approved me, but NSERC needs to approve it), so I’ll be in Waterloo during the fall doing some researching on Interative Learning Control / Repetitive Control. Sounds interesting enough.
My course load for 4A is as follows:
ECE413 - Digital Signal Processing
ECE457 - Applied Artificial Intelligence
ECE488 - Multivariable Control
ECE750 - Distributed Systems
I haven’t heard back from graduate studies office, so I have no idea how any of that is going… or whether I’ll be receiving any scholarships. Bah!
One thing I’ve been thinking, though… Just why do I want to do grad studies? Maybe it’s because I’m afraid of change. Maybe I’ve just gotten accustomed and comfortable with academic life, stress and crazy workload and all. I’ve been going to schools for 95% of my life, and I just don’t want to commit to something completely different just yet. Also, I still don’t think I understand enough… I wouldn’t be opposed to doing grad work at some other University, but the thought of working full time somehow terrifies me.
Hmm…
Onto a completely different topic. I’ve been watching quite a bit of Korean movies lately - Wow, Korea really has changed a lot. It seems a lot more liberal and… different… from how I remember the place. There’s a korean proverb that says “Rivers and Mountains change in a decade” and that’s exactly what happened… or maybe I have changed. Who knows.
And lastly - To do, if I have some free time. Make a bot to talk with humans, using the power of Google. It’ll be interesting if I ever get around to it.
