No longer punctuated
With random people.
Well, it's been about 37 hours since I swore off Facebook, and it's been beautiful. :) I guess I never spent that much time on there, but I did take microbreaks from whatever I was theoretically supposed to be doing in order to see if I had any messages/invites/pokes/whatever. It's amazing what removing those 15 second diversions can do for focus.
I'm a little sad about the fact that I essentially lost a second email address. I know a lot of people won't be contacting me at all for 38 more days. :(
In other news, I'm starting to lean more and more towards Cognitive Science for graduate school. I've had meetings with a couple of people in the department over the last day or so, and the idea of combining all these seemingly-random things that I've been studying up until now into a coherent sort of discipline is really appealing. I signed up to take the GRE for Computer Science in early April. I have to say I'm at least a little apprehensive; I can only assume that there are things I won't know on it that I'll learn in the next year, but from my score on the practice exam I think I'll do okay. I'm hoping to get a book from a prof about graph theory, which is an entire topic that is entirely missing from IU's CS program. Meh.
graph theory = win
ReplyDeleteI can probably find you some resources too; I actually studied graphs a fair bit in high school.
Ask Prof. Lumsdaine, he knows all there is to know (and probably a lot more he cannot tell) about that...
