This past week, including the weekend, has sucked. Horribly. Two CS370 assignments are due, one tomorrow and one on Tuesday. Well, technically, they're both due tomorrow, but we have to give a presentation on one of them on Tuesday. One of them was the implementation of a neural network in order to classify between different objects in an image. The other is a group project. For this project, my partner and I had chosen face recognition. I'm pretty sure now that this was a horrid, horrid mistake, but we were pretty much stuck with it at this point. At first, we figured that we'd put our neural networks from the first assignment to work toward the face recognition task. As it turns out, we're not even using the neural network at all now, and are doing it completely differently. It mostly works, kinda sorta, but there's still some issues to be ironed out. We've been working on both assignments pretty much the entire past week, including 6 hours each on yesterday and today. Actually, the neural network assignment was pretty much finished by Wednesday, once we had finished wrestling MATLAB into submission and getting it to do what we wanted it to do. All that's left of that is the report that still needs to be written and code that needs to be commented. MATLAB sucks. Well, I guess it's good for some things, like neural networks and such, but... nah, it just sucks.
Also, there is a MAT340 group project due on Tuesday. So far I have done pretty much jack on it, mostly due to my time being eaten up by the previously mentioned CS370 assignments. The one thing I did attempt to do on the project today, it turns out that it had already been done in a much better way by one of the others. I feel like a fifth wheel, even though there are only four of us in the group.
For better or for worse, I won't see the back end of Tuesday April 15 soon enough to suit my taste. After that, though, I'm more or less free, at least for a time. There's still the GAM project final submission due on Friday, and a book to read for an ENG test on Friday, and possibly a SQL homework assignment for CS420 due at some unknown point in the coming week which he hasn't yet assigned, but psh. All of that is cake compared to this past week and the coming day or two.
Only one more week of school, followed by exam week (and I don't think I'll have any exams to take) and then I'm done with DigiPen. I'm going to North Carolina for the entire month of May following graduation (April 27) and will return to Redmond on June 3. After that, I hope I'll have a job lined up and ready to go. Well, if not, I've been told that I can come back and work at GameInstinct until I do find another job, so that's cool.
Oh, and I have one final dental appointment, scheduled at 8:00am for next Monday, the 21st. Joy. It was originally scheduled for 11:15am of the same day, but I rescheduled it because I thought I had a final on that day. Turns out that I (probably) don't have a final, after all.
