Pi in the Sky

I wanted a journal, and this is it.

It’s one of those lectures where I just couldn’t feel motivated and just deliver a boring lecture. I don’t know, maybe it’s the nature of the material, which has been pretty dry recently. Lots of proofs, lots of blank stares, oh well.

People stopped coming to office hours…even though I find the assignment pretty hard. Hmm…maybe I’m the only one.

I found some applications for the singular value decomposition which is coming up in lectures soon. They are interesting, but I wonder how interesting they can be when I try to talk about “real world” applications when I don’t live in this “real world”…

The weather has been very sunny, and the sun stays up much longer. Still, cold. And I walked to school and back today. About half an hour each way. Not too bad, except the dizzy head that I got.

Finally the heavybag is in my place now. Time for some exercise? Only when the house is empty, I guess…it makes too much noise.

Sometimes I find it funny that I want to criticize people for the way they criticize people. It’s a negative dicycle.
