Back to school
I think I was at home for a day or two too long. While it isn't nearly as bad as this or this was in September, when I was, on top of dealing with the environment change, starting to get deeply troubled by stuff that got much worse before it got much much better, I still feel at a loss. Like I've reverted to a former self and forgotten how to act around people here.
Home is very strange and no matter how much I try to bring my new and improved, modern self back home, between the place and the people there, I always come back beaten back to an (I guess) stable but clumsy and unproductive core.
I really have to learn how to do work again for these next few weeks, for real. But my attention has been mostly on Katie and then Diplomacy and then weird philosophy community politics for what must be over a month now. So how do I manage finals and, more scarily, figure out housing for next year?
I have to be thinking: Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques for learning parameters over Bayes nets with no hidden variables. Who should I badger into living with me next year? What landlord? Where?
Instead I'm thinking: Is she mad at me, or just busy? I need to make sure I let the players know proper order submission protocol. Nobody else has gotten banned, have they? When am I going to get around to posting the rest of the Thanksgiving report?
