Hi all,

Every once and a while it occurs to me that I have not added to my blog in 6 months. It’s unfortunate since I have done so many different things, but I have no idea if anything is useful for you. A short list of things I have done in the past 9 months (in no particular order):

  • Gone back to MIT
  • Have switched my major to math (ostensibly 18C)
  • Joined a cool frat
  • Worked on a UROP (might get published soon)
  • Worked for the College Board, talked with the president and learned a lot about tests
  • Lived in NYC for a month
  • Visited Washington DC for the first time in years
  • Learned a bit of Chinese
  • Taught myself a lot about various topics

But I want to do a lot more things in the near future, notably:

  • Enjoy a cruise with Yalu
  • Finish 4 or 5 courses
  • Get published
  • Learn how to write parallel algorithms
  • Learn how to model complicated fluid systems
  • Learn how to build a low level machine

So that’s it. If trends continue, I probably won’t be back here for another 6 months or so, but you can always contact me if you want.


World Development

Things are going well. I think I got a perfect score in my last test again. Is it offending when you hand in an hour test in 20 minutes? I usually spend a lot of time bored in my chair to make it seem like the test took longer than it actually did… on Tuesday I felt a bit restive though.

Not much to say, other than a friend showed me the awesome package that is MLPY and that the world is developing. (I find the last link hilarious.)


Franklin Park and Updates

Man, I haven’t been keeping this blog up like I should have. I think that will change though. In addition to writing long essays about my views on things, I’ll also put in some random entries about what I’m doing today. This is one of those entries.

Today is going to be fun. Since the CPW weather machine is in full blast, this weekend is extremely beautiful weather-wise (which is a rarity in Boston). To seize this opportunity, Yalu and I are going to walk and hike around in Franklin Park.

On the math side of things, a friend of mine has been sending me problems of the day. They are about the level of ARML, but perhaps a few are easier and a few are harder. They are really fun and I’ll post some of the problems and solutions to the ones that I really like.
