I'm going to a tutorial session -- some kind of introduction to bayes nets and inference. There is a "reading list" that came out with the announcement of the session, but actually have no idea if it is a "prerequisite reading" or a "extra reading" list.

This evening I went skating. Last lesson of the session. I think I might stop taking lessons after this.
"Why," people ask? My answer: I always wanted to do the butterfly, and now that I've almost done it, why continue? I wonder when they plan to stop. They probably don't.
One lesson that I learned tonight -- landing frequently on the ice will eventually make your pants wet if the weather is warm. Thus, dark pants are advisable.
I unfortunately forgot my camera tonight, so video clips of my spectacular falls are still unavailable.

Last night, I watched "he loves me... he loves me not" with Shoko and her friends from school (this really nice couple). The movie was surprisingly good, but would have been spoiled had I known even a little bit about it first. Also, Audrey Tautou is really cute.

It turns out that the form I need, one "Concurrent Enrollment Form" is not even available until next Monday, and the fears that I was too late to give my money to Berkeley were misplaced.

Off to figure out how to take this Statistical Learning Theory class.

The butterfly is coming along. Yesterday evening, out of all of my attempts, I fell down only about half of the time. And although I still had to put my hand down on the ice on most of the remainder, there were a few where I managed to stay on my feet.

Every time I see amaretto, I think: "that probably tastes good." After all, I like almonds, I like almond extract in desserts, I like vanilla extract straight. It can't miss, right?
The last time I tried drinking a bit of amaretto, it was awful.
