i'm still here

i doubt anyone reads this anymore, especially since i haven't posted in over 3 months. well, i'm going to start posting semi-regularly again.

as for what i've been up to since i left boston this past summer:
  • went to indonesia to visit sheley. proposed and had the time of my life
  • fall 08 i took 2 grad classes: (1) algorithms (2) animats-based learning
  • i didn't focus nearly like i should, and i was a pretty crappy student. i got lucky and ended up with an A and A- and my gpa is now decent at 3.8 i still feel like i'm not working even half as hard as i did at FIT though... i guess just the sheer number of classes i took at FIT made it so hard for me
  • i've applied to (3) jobs for full-time employment: (1) mit lincoln lab, (2) nasa/caltech jet propulsion lab, and (3) google.
  • i flew sheley home from indo for winter break, so we spent 2 weeks together around christmas time! it was great.
  • i'm now starting what i hope to be my last quarter at UCLA. i'm only taking 1 course and i'm finishing my master's project, which concerns using genetic algorithms to create a co-evolutionary animats-based environment.
i started this blog soon as i moved out to california. it was to document my time in california, and here we are now with possibly only 10 weeks left. it has seriously flown by fast, and i still don't feel like it's anything remotely close to something i can call home. i'm still a visitor, just one who now understands what LA is like.

  1. still with you, bud.

    i am only now feeling like the LBC is my home. i think it's because i am really exploring shops and eateries in the area and also getting to know a friend who has grown up here his whole life. his pride in the city he has grown up in gives me pride in it too.
