Midterm yesterday. There were 6 questions, I was supposed to do 4, and I solved 1. Really, I didn't know it would be worse than convex opt...

Had the first supervisor meeting yesterday in ages. Wasn't too bad.

It's really too bad that Kermin Fleming lost on Jeopardy two days ago...on a final jeopardy that I knew the answer to (It's the more commonly used term for the practice of Chinese geomancy)... But it's good that Michael Dupee won yesterday's game (I also knew the answer to this final jeopardy: "the two island nations that are official members of the G-8 (Group of Eight)"). They are two of my favourites. Contestants, that is, not final jeopardy clues.
