So excite!

Aug 5: Last Day of Work for a While

Today I got up and ate dorm breakfast of something mustardy and onion-y with some pork and vegetables (and miso soup and rice).  I took the bus and got to work on time, where I made the change to my recommender that I thought of before the "weekend".  It didn't appear to totally wreck things, but it wasn't completely solved, either.  I talked to Kabutoya-san regarding my questions, and I didn't get particularly great answers, as he was very very busy today trying to get a paper submitted (deadline was today).  I worked on some of his suggestions for the recommender, as well as cleaned up the code a bit before the lunch bell rang.

At lunch I ate hiyashi-ramen, which was only alright, but better than all the other options (I did not feel like having Murugi-curry yet again; what is up with their scheduling?).  It was kind of salty, but none of the flavours were offensive.  After eating I played handiball, and enjoyed myself again, as it was with the usual crowd.  I wasn't great, but neither were many of them for some reason. >_<

In the afternoon I worked on some other suggestions Kabutoya-san had made.  Unfortunately, one thing about this model is that it cannot forget the old data that is no longer relevant, so at the moment it just gets more and more bloated as "time" goes on (time is in quotes because I'm just reading data sequentially from a text file).  The next model I'll implement doesn't have this problem, but it comes at the expense of needing to completely and abruptly forget data, rather than attenuating its importance over time.  Luckily I am pretty much done with the model I'm currently working on as of the end of today, so when I go back to work after the vacation I will be starting fresh on something new, not something half-finished that I've forgotten the details of.

After work (practically all the PIGs left before me for some reason...) I walked home and ate dorm dinner of yakisoba wrapped in scrambled egg with ketchup on top.  There was also some mapo-nasu (I don't know if that's a real thing, but it at least describes what's happening) and some fake crab salad.  Everything was quite good, and I had a brief chat with the new kids that moved in (who are probably older than me, but I will call them kids because they look like they're 15 years old).  After dinner I had a grapefruit for dessert and did some laundry and packing for my imminent adventure.  I watched a little StarCraft as well, but the matches I saw today weren't so great.

After StarCraft, I remembered that I needed to shave, and of course that took absolutely forever, and of course I competely forgot about blogging, so now here I am, up late and still needing to pack some more. D:  Oh well, I will be on vacation soon, so being a little shy of sleep will hopefully be alright.  Anyways, I'd best finish up my packing ASAP, and get to bed.

Night!
