As I said in a previous post, I’m trying to re-learn Math 136 106 stuff. I spent 6 hours today studying Linear Algebra as if I were a UWaterloo student again and my assignment is due in 2 days (which it sorta is).

How nerdy is this? Tonight is one of the most fun nights I’ve had in weeks. I’m thoroughly enjoying re-learning, doing examples, doing simple arithmetic in my head, etc. for this course. I wanna keep going and going! I’ll probably be doing Math 106 all night tomorrow and all night Wednesday, assuming I get my ASP.NET tool done by Friday, maybe earlier (or maybe I can finish tomorrow…).

Again, I’m having a blast. If only I had this enthusiasm a decade ago…I guess it’s different, doing it for 1 day after 5 years and doing it everyday for 5 years (well, broken up by co-op terms which were effectively summer vacations). I’m so glad I challenged myself to this…what’s next? Relearning Abstract Data Types? Big O notation (which I should probably know…)? Polymorphism (and not the kind where a mage turns you into a sheep)? Recursion? Taylor Theorem? LOL I think I’m out of first year terms I sorta remember :P

Waterloo’s just been too long….

My mind really went to |absolute| mush the last 5 years. I played WoW (on Z’s account) for about 10-15 minutes yesterday. All the quickness at micro, the items/stats to look at, it’s still all too familiar. I bet I could pick up WoW today and play close to the same quality of gameplay as 8 months ago. The reflexes are just merged with my muscle memory in the brain….but again, it came with a terrible sacrifice. My brain function in all other aspects of life.

Durrrr….time to get back to werk werk!

And then Dexter S05 02 :D
