Work ^ !Work
Jul. 23rd, 2020 03:20 pmToday, I did a guest lecture for my professor's summer class. I think the first half was a bit listless (my throat hurt from practicing and I was a bit nervous - honestly, I think I might've had a bit too much caffeine, too) but did better in the second half where I was more excited about the topic. If I do it again, I might try to retool the first half to have more of that. The students asked some fun questions, so hopefully they enjoyed it.
I also asked him again about fall funding as I never heard back. It sounds like our email system might've eaten the last email, if he didn't lose it himself. For a tech university, our email system sucks so much. Anyway, it sounds like he has something if I do some work or whatever, which is what he said before, so we're going to talk about it in a couple hours. Fingers crossed! I'm fortunate enough that I can live without getting it, but it would be nice.
Did a fair amount of programming this week and also need to do some code cleanup and a few tests of tweaks later, but I also need to get started on what writing I can do while my code is running. And also see if I can get that other machine to run stuff on.
Also need to finish this fic for RSOB! I am going to try and get it done tonight 'cause I want to post it. Or at least start posting it.
Have been doing some book reading while waiting for code to run (and fic reading and let's play reading - sometimes these things take a while). Unfortunately, my last couple of book choices (one from the library, one picked at random from the stuff I downloaded from Archipelago Books) did not turn out so well. Maybe I'll go through Kimono next as I know I'll like it.
I also watched the Peggy Fleming trophy when I had the chance. On the one hand, the USFS player is terrible and I'm still miffed at how much permissions I had to grant to even get the player operational, and it was also a great demonstration of why virtual competitions are not as easy as 'idk, stream it??'. Also didn't understand the scoring. On the other, I enjoyed most of the skaters. The men especially did well, as did Sonya (never heard of her - I assumed she was an adult skater at first - but I'm in for anyone with interesting choreo, bi-directional spins, and tuck single axels, even if they're doing Hallelujah). I was extra happy to see so many people recognizing my fave Emmanuel for his lovely arms and movement :)
