An update, a meme, and wtf LJ changed the update interface
Let's see...I basically finished my Japanese project. It came out to 33 pages, and since I printed it on heavy paper, my stapler totally fails at penetrating it. I'll have to take it to the library tomorrow, where there's a more powerful stapler that I can use.
I got about two paragraphs of the extra credit essay for AI done. I'm still not sure I'm going to finish it, but I really have no excuse not to, as I have a pretty good amount of time now that my algebra prof. ended up giving us a take-home final.
The algebra final... the entire first half is just the general version of a problem we had on a homework which was to prove that a group G such that |G|=49 is abelian. Well, the problem on the final is to prove that if |G|=p2 where p is prime, then G is abelian. I already did this, and the proof, while lengthy, was exactly the same as the one from the homework, just with every 7 replaced with p, and every 49 replaced with p2. It's a good thing I kept a rough draft of the proof I used for the homework, since he hasn't given us that homework back yet.
The rest of the exam consists of 7 easier problems, out of which we can pick 4 to do. I haven't nailed down exactly which 4 I'm gonna do yet, but they're all fairly easy.
If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend youre cool...
7. Post your results in the comments
Note: I didn't do this with all of my music, but rather a slightly limited subset of it. If I had used all of my music, probabilistically speaking, almost every song would have been some random anime background music, which would be rather boring.
