Well, I was going to go to an optional early class today… that didn’t happen. Felt way too crap to be getting out of bed at 8.30am, so I went back to sleep in favour of going to the classes that I was actually enrolled in. This turned out to be rather ironic, as my first class (Brain Computer Interfaces) proved to be so way over my head that I ended up dropping the course in favour of taking Computer Vision, which I went to fairly promptly after I had printed off my insurance forms after BCI. This class looks a lot more promising, although I have a little catch up to do since I missed the first class on Monday.

After vision I had a bit of a chat with Chris, one of my classmates from Graphics last quarter who is also taking Vision. Looks like there are a few other familiar faces in that class, so hopefully I can continue to develop those relationships and be a bit more social this quarter! To that end, I then went over to the HUB and down to the student clubs offices to meet up with the Anime Discovery Project. That was really good, the three people that were there were really welcoming and just as nuts as anime fans should be. ^^; I’ll probably attend their meeting on Friday night, although I don’t know if I’ll have a lot of time to just hang out in the office and watch anime with them during the day, as they are apparently wont to do. Bloody undergrads with too much time on their hands. ^_~

From there I went over to Schmitz and handed in all my insurance forms (again) so that I don’t get charged several hundred dollars in compulsory insurance when I already have some. Ok, get this – they shred the documents that you give them right after, so I have to keep giving them fresh copies of the same document each quarter. How stupid is that?

Anyway, from there I went to an interesting talk over at the Information School on searching through un-annotated documents using lightweight ontologies and search query structure transparency. Some interesting stuff, the presenter was quiet but quite enjoyable, some guy they’d flown over from Scandinavia somewhere.

I came back to the apartment and had dinner with Aidan, whom I hadn’t actually seen since I arrived back yet. Good to have a bit of a chat and so on. I dished out some good Cadbury chocolate for him and Kyung, Kyung gave me some funky dried which I couldn’t put a name to… kinda like dried apricot or peach, but different. Nice, though.

Anyway, other than that I did a bunch of work, another bunch of emails, my laundry then went to bed and read my book before crashing out.
