1. UW
Update Wednesday 6/3/15
a. Howdy
y’all! It’s been an exciting and packed week—hopefully I’ll get to recap it
all, but as of now I gotta limit myself to today.
b. This
morning, Haggett Hall. Woke. Grabbed a breakfast sandwich at McMahon and walked
to physics. Discussed calculating entropy changes for various processes.
c. Linear.
Big recap.
d. No
physics lab! Yay! Went back to Haggett and did hw.
e. Went
to CSE311. Went over different sizes of infinity and cardinality of sets.
Interesting stuff—nice to have it all well-defined.
f. Ate
lunch and read Russell Okamoto’s (an old friend of my parents) blog
posts. Walked to the physics complex. Ran into Max on the way and we ended
up talking for over an hour, about setting up lunch at the end of physics
(invite Garcia? Ask him to set up a poll?), about how to get interesting people
together in general, and about math.
g. Went
to SPS lounge for Go Club. Started watching a game, then got into three
consecutive games. Played pretty darn well for having been absent so long J
h. Headed
onto the Ave with the Go denizens, Rachel (whose birthday party I attended and
is leaving for grad school at Stanford), Charles, Philip, Mike, Ben, and Devon.
Ate at a Salvadorian place. Tasty, but small portions. Mike talked a lot about
geopolitics; he seems to have a streak of Chinese nationalism, but is very
knowledgeable. Rachel has to write a fairy tale erotica story for a French
fairy tales class, so we talked a bit about that.
i.
Grabbed some groceries, was walking back to
Haggett when I ran into Johan and Matthew. Headed down to CSE labs with them.
Worked on some physics, played Johan’s tetris game, checked out Spencer’s boss
illegal music downloader app, watched some nerdy CS videos on magnetic coil
memory (a crazy technology that powered the Apollo computers). Worked a bit on
311 hw, then returned to Haggett. Ate some cake and read Karenina in the
lounge. Grabbed my basketball and ran around for 20 minutes, then wrote this
log and hit the hay.
