My Second Half’s Classes…and other changes from the new year.
So I didn’t quite keep up as much with my productivity these past few months, and definitely not with trying to keep up my writing habits.
I’ve been 50/50 split between working in nvim and emacs themselves, but since this blog sits in `.org` files (and frankly I can’t get over how awesome they are), I’m trying to stick with emacs and keep working on my configuration.
So, we’re back with `org-mode`, `org-roam`, anything bibtex, and the awesome HTML read-the-org theme for exporting to HTML. Latex has always been a challenge to work with, especially for large swaths of content, so I think I’m going to keep my notes only in HTML form on this blog, hidden away from my main pages.
Things:
- Org-roam does not exist well with my note-taking for school, so I’ve written my own (bad) elisp for some (broken) functionality to add definitions to my org-mode documents at the bottom for notes and reviews.
- I’ve managed to import and sync my gcal using the `org-gcal` which has been interesting, but might not end well in terms of syncing all my events since there’s many.
- I’ve got slightly more motivations about my side projects this year, so hopefully those will actually get done by the time the summer starts, but I’ve also got a lot going on so no guarantees there.
Now to the not interesting part, my classes:
| Code | Description | Interest (?/5) |
|---|---|---|
| CPS521 | Introduction to Data Science | 4 |
| CPS616 | Algorithms | 2 |
| CPS706 | Computer Networks I | 3 |
| ENT500 | New Venture Startup | 5 |
| CACC100 | Intro to Financial Accounting | 4 |
Ratings these days are on the rise, as I’m getting a bit more flexible with my courses. Trends show I’m getting into finance, because if I can’t get a minor in time then I might as well learn something useful.
616 and 706 are required courses, so those are ranked lowest, but I have hope for 616 and might write a bit about it in the future. Algorithms are cool and all but not exactly my favorite.
