Some professors are more-or-less normal. Some professors are peculiar. Some professors are more peculiar than others. Most times, peculiar is good. This is one of those times. I am learning a lot, so I am very happy. It is hard, hard work, and I am very happy.

Attended Complex Systems Group seminar “The role of causal inference and machine learning in engineering complex systems”, Eytan Bakshy, Data Science Team, Facebook

Hey there, cowboys and cowgirls. I am back in the saddle again. Yippee-yai-o-kai-yay!

Wow. Summer session went by very fast. Here I am, but I will not take a class this semester. This makes me unhappy. Boo hoo.

I am back in school this summer. Are you? The snow is gone. Campus is quiet. Library is very quiet. That makes it easier to study! On weekends I will go hiking. But I will always dream of snow. Good-bye!

Hello there. How are you? I am fine, thank you. I study computer science and mathematics. You may be very far. You may be very near. I do not know. Nevermind. If you see my dog hat, you know it is me. Think snow. Good-bye!

Attended Complex Systems Group seminar “How Bugs Invade: Arrival (and Survival) of the Fittest Bridges”, C. Brandon Ogbunu, Department of Biology, UVM

Yay. I am going back to school. It has been a very, very, very long time since I have been in school. Going back to school makes me happy. Also it makes me a little nervous. But is is good to learn new things. Don’t you agree? Study hard! Good-bye!
