Whee! Out of town! Crap! Catching up on schoolwork!
So starting Saturday and for the 8 days from then, I’m going to be out of Vancouver.
Where will I be heading off to? First off, I will be in Toronto, visiting relatives and my dad’s high school classmates who are there. The day immediately after, I will find myself in New York, which should be interesting since it will be my first time there. Yay for going to a place I’ve never been before!
We apparently know quite a few people over there. One of my cousins is currently working there. If I recall correctly, two of my distant cousins are there studying right now. As well, we have some family friends over there as well. It should be nice to see people I haven’t seen in years/months.
After the few days (don’t ask exactly how many – I didn’t make the itinerary, I just decided to go), we head back to Toronto on the overnight bus and stay over at my aunt’s place. I guess at that point in time, I will be able to find some time to review the CMPT 419 stuff I will be missing during the week, get started on the second assignment, and prepare for some other business. And of course, go around Markham (where my relatives are) and nearby areas.
If there’s anything I learned from my first assignment in CMPT 419, it is “START EARLY”. But then again, I did kinda start early on that first assignment, but I decided to start on the math theory questions first. Bad choice there, Dom. B-a-a-a-d choice indeed.
This time, I’m starting with the MATLAB stuff first. Much simpler (but not by much) and more interesting. Since the assignment’s on classification, we get to do some machine learning stuff on spam detection, which should be fun.
Anyway, time to go to sleep. There are people I know who are convocating tomorrow in both ceremonies, so I should probably go watch and take pictures with them. Or something.
That and pack my stuff for my vacation in the middle of the semester.
