Things that my Computer Science professor calls 'puppies': functions, sets, blackboards, relations, operators, variables, theorems (and counting...)
January has been extremely, extremely busy. I can't honestly say that I didn't see this coming when I opted to take like six classes this quarter, but I guess I wanted to try it out just for the heck of it. Here's how an average day in the past week went. 8am to 10am was spent at work. 10am to 12pm was spent in classes, 12-1pm - more work. 1-5pm - more classes. 5-9pm - work. 9-11pm - studies. 11-12am - brief relief. 12-3am - more studies. And I'm actually finding this 19-hour schedule fun! Yes, I've become a masochist.
OK, so one of my CS professors calls almost every mathematical term a puppy, the other CS professor still uses Mac OS 9 on a PowerBook G3, my Math professor has the strongest Polish accent ever and writes 'Tripple Integration' on the board, my writing professor is almost completely insane and my German studies professor happens to like peanut-butter. Good times.
Meanwhile, the weather here is brilliant. Yesterday, although it was totally sunny and more or less heavenly during the day, it got awfully chilly at night; 7 degrees celsius by the thermometer, although it felt like sub-zero. Rosetta (the PPC translation technology in Mac OS X) is coming under fire for being about 40% slower than it was claimed to be, and Apple says it will have a shortage of MacBook Pros. Basically means that I will be forced to wait a very long time for my MacBook. Ah...
