The beauty of being me…

I spent 18 hours yesterday with my AI group programming an AI agent to play checkers… not only that… but learn how to play better. The scary thing… we succeeded. I’m not a checkers master, but I see strategy in it and think a few moves ahead and after we got some of our search algorithms worked out and a few checks added into our utility class the damn thing was actually able to beat me when I wasn’t really playing as well as I could… I’m hoping thats just because I was in a computer lab until 4am… I haven’t tried to embarass myself playing it yet today.

Other than the fact I’m significatly behind on my grading, I seem to have come out of my hole of cow dung smelling like roses. Other things are still bothering me, but at least school doesn’t seem to be weighing so heavy. Still not sleeping well… my cut off seems to be around 3am instead of 5am now though.

I have a final in a little more than an hour that I’ve not really been able to prepare for. I’ve done what I can, lets hope I’m as much as a knowledge sponge as I’m accused of being.
