I'm looking forward to this being a better year than last given recent events and being on the news. Theory of Comp is done, not exactly the way I had wanted it to go but given the circumstances, its good for now. I will study the material more on my own in the future since I like theory. I decided to switch classes last minute since my advisor thought it would be better for my thesis work and she is absolutely right...so I will take CS533 next term. I'm signed up to take the FPGA class but wondering if I have enough background since I don't know Verilog so we'll see. Over break I saw the "Pursuit of Happyness", really tells a story of determination -- I'm putting my mind in that state for this term. :-)
