So, I survived my Computer Vision presentation. As it turned out many kids had taken on larger than they expected projects and were only partially done. I ended up presenting on all that I had learned about epipolar geometry, and showing off my epipolar lines I was able to recover from the  stereo images. I still want to try and get some more of the script working before the report is due Friday night. Today I have my last final which is in Artificial Intelligence. Hopefully this will go well. I’m just happy to be done after this, I’m exhausted and quiver to think that if I don’t pass one of my classes, I will be under the same workload next quarter as I was this quarter. So far I have one passing grade out of 5 classes, just 4 more grades to wait on. Having been through a quarter with 20 units now, I can safely say that 20 units at UCI is nothing like 20 units at Saddleback. The amount of work I received in homework, projects, tests, and quizzes was immense. I just hope that this quarter works out so that I only have one more before graduation.

On a more depressing note, our timeshare is completely booked because of Spring Break, so I won’t be able to escape as I had planned. I’ll have to try and come up with something else :(. There appears to be plenty of stuff for me to work on over spring break, so I might just end up working for most of it which is good and bad, I need to get some money in to help pay for taxes as well as get my bank account replenished for after taxes. I saw one or two cool toys I might like to have, but ultimately I’m pretty content with everything I have at the moment. Shuttle is getting closer to releasing the X50 which I have been watching carefully in hopes that they might release it. I could see some very exciting uses for that machine, and with the knowledge I have gained over this past quarter in computer vision I have a renewed vigor with which I want to pursue learning OpenGL again. I really want to program some stuff in 3D. We’ll see if I can keep my focus long enough to make something of that. The shuttle machine would be a great platform for testing out some of my ideas, a 3D interface on a touch screen I think would be a very cool thing.
