Three Day Weekend
The nice thing about this weekend is that it lasts one day longer than normal. This evening, I've been working on some programming stuff, and I played some Madden. I'm now playing on the hardest difficulty without much luck so far. I'm pretty certain that I'm going to stay in Oxford this summer and just take some classes and work on a thesis. I'm beginning to wonder whether or not I'll ever enter the real world. Last week, my software engineering group presented our results to a panel of "experts", although probably only half of them deserve that title. One of the "experts" didn't know what PHP was, so she asked me, "What does PHP stand for?" This seems like an unusual question to learn what a product does because normally the name of the product is not too descriptive. But, I answered her question, saying, "PHP stands for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor." I doubt that she understood the whole recursive acronym thing, but the deserving-of-the-title experts seemed impressed that I knew this bit of trivia. Anyway, I guess that they liked our proposal because our team was deemed the winner.
Its turning out that I'm having a few technical difficulties with this journal again (what's new, maybe Movable Type is not so good). I'm not getting email notifications when comments are posted, so it might take me awhile to approve a comment if you post one. I have to approve comments manually because spammers will flood the comments otherwise.
Next week, I'm going to try to talk to one of my professors to try to come up with a thesis topic/advisor. I have a Machine Learning test, and a 5k1llz test in ice skating. This weekend, I need to do some grocery shopping and some laundry.
