Some of the Easiest Extra Credit
Part of our Machine Learning homework this past time was an extra credit programming problem as opposed to having the program be a core part of the assignment. I hadn’t been working on it this past week because we also get 4 free late days, and since I didn’t see myself using those for any of the normal assignments, I figured that if I needed to use one and get some bonus points as a result, it would be well worth it as opposed to just letting the day go to waste at the end of the semester. Well, doing the program took me all of under 2 hours, so I’ll get the extra credit and still get to hold onto all of my free days. One free day for some bonus points was a fair trade in my opinion, but no days for the same amount of points is much better.
One thing that I’m probably going to start doing on Saturdays is go to HP and play ultimate frisbee for an hour or two with a couple of my friends from the high school. This week it conflicted with everything that I was doing at UTD (due to an earlier than normal game because of HP’s homecoming being tonight), but next week the plan is apparently for it to be a night game and have lots of glow in the dark stuff. I think the last time I played ultimate frisbee was in PE class my freshman year at HP, so we’ll have to see how my skills have aged. Chances are they haven’t magically gotten a ton better.
