  • Functionality

    I don't actually have any excuse this time. I fell asleep right after dinner, and although I set my alarm for 23:30 in the fond hopes of actually waking up and blogging, I didn't. I'm sorry.

    Finals are over, and were over on Friday. Friday was an awake-early, two-finals, yell-at-little-students sort of day. I really didn't quite know what to make of the AI exam, but the Engineering one was kind of fun. It was very mathy and three hours long, so I had time to sit there and flounder around until things sort of made sense. Even though it took me more than two hours, I was only the second person out, so I feel like my sparse attendance hasn't done too much damage. After that, shower, and then my class of little zerglings (where they trolled like they'd never troll again (it was their last class)), then Rock Band, then sleep.

    Today, I woke up, and then did not commit to getting up for about five hours. Something about that doesn't quite seem optimal, but then again, maybe it is.

    I had an interesting talk with Pesto (name also redacted), who thinks I should be a vegetarian. It quickly turned into a much more complicated problem. Right now, conversation is on hold, and I'm trying to come up with a good mental model of a non-sentient entity that still has meaningful utility.

    I should pack. If I don't pack, I shall not be ready to leave in seven or eight hours, and the room will moulder while no one is here, and smell weird when we get back, and I shall forget something small but significant, and perhaps I will have to buy a new phone charger yet again.

    With the fondest hopes of being a more punctual functional person.
