It's now almost the end of February, and this year so far has been absolutely, entirely filled with work. I've never done so much in my life, no exaggeration - way more than I ever had to do for my degree. Most days I am working from 9 in the morning until about 8 in the eve, sometimes more. I've had 4 assessed assignments in so far this term, some of them huge, although I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. In for Monday is a 3500 word "literature survey of evolutionary algorithms for molecular control" (even less exciting than it sounds), and that is my last piece of written work this term.
Regarding my previous one, Richard Mitchell is officially my least favourite person on this planet. Just look at his smug face, thinking "I've just set the most impenetrably hard assignment I could think of, and have deliberately written it in a ridiculiusly abbreviated form of the English language so that no-one will be able to understand what I'm even asking, mwaahahahahaha!". Seriously, he really is retarded and I don't quite know how he got to be a University lecturer. Ok, I admit he actually looks like he's a nice guy on that picture. He isn't. As you can see from that page, he did his degree at Reading and hasn't left since. What a loser.
Talking of which, it looks like I might be doing a PhD here (at least it's on the cards), in BCIs, which is Brain Computer Interfaces to you and me. To learn about that, my MSc dissertation might be on designing a device such that you can control a robot (or maybe a remote-controlled car) using just your brain. How cool is that?!
More about boring work, I had Xia Hong's assignment back yesterday, and I got 70, ie I scraped a 1st, so I'm pretty pleased with that. Unfortunately that one's coupled with Richard Mitchell's so I could still fail that module miserably.
Ok now I've got that out of my system, no more work talk I promise! For now...
