During winter quarter, I went snowboarding at Tahoe for the first time; it was beautiful, and feeling that famed California powder, instead of the West Virginia ice I was used to, was exhilarating. Around noon, I was finishing up one of my best runs of the day; it was my first time snowboarding in years but I had picked it up pretty quickly and I was on a high gliding into the loading area. I started to brake, but misjudged how fast I was going and just ate shit, tumbling and landing directly on my left shoulder.

Back at school! I love fall in California; every day is shorts weather but you can wear pants and not burn up. I’m taking mostly project-based classes now, and I’m excited to see how they turn out!

For past month and a half, I’ve been working at an asset management fund (my finance friends tell me to call it a hedge fund for the CLOUT but I couldn’t tell you the difference). It’s been a lot of fun! I like my coworkers, there’s snacks, we get lunch ordered in, the offices all have a great view of the city, and they’re giving me projects where I get to learn a little bit about infance, but the problems I’m solving are almost entirely based on things that I know/things that are pretty likely to be useful for what I might want to do in the future. I’ve had to do ML without a GPU. So that’s been tough. But fun! While waiting for the simplest of tasks to finish, I’ve been reading a shit ton of papers and blog posts.

It’s been a while! I haven’t written things for other people to read in at least two years, aside from the occasional shitty tweet (now with 280 characters of bad jokes!).
