Well, I slept some.
As it turned out, nobody got a visit from the cookie fairy last night. Look for a visit this afternoon once I'm off work.
Working for Prof Thom can be ridiculously frustrating. A lot of the time she'll give you something to look into, then immediately say that it might as well be impossible for these reasons, but you should do it anyway, and by the way you ought to look into these other three things, but this one's also impossible, that one's worse than NP-complete, and the last one is showing that there's a correlation between x and f(x). At the same time, you should read these chapters from this graduate-level textbook, and do the problems, and we'll talk about it at the end of the week. Want some tea? It doesn't help that I'm not in the reseach mindset; I don't feel like anything I've accomplished has actually been useful, and all of the things that might be useful are the same ones that seem asbolutely impossible.
Man, I want to get back to the applications of this. But I know I should understand what I'm doing now - preferably to the point of explaining it - - which is exactly what I suck at.
On the upside, I'm learning LaTeX.
