10月31日 HalloweenReading papers on "exponential random graph modeling" (say that 5 times, fast) for the past two days, muddle-minded...And this afternoon the guest speaker talked about the simulation software he and colleagues developed at U of Melbourne. We listened quietly for 3 hours and few people here at USC even had a question...Is it a seminar on communication or advanced mathematics? How are we supposed to understand Makov, graph theory, and all that in three hours and do the lab on our own? Peter finally said, well, it is Halloween and it is the time to haunt us with math! (in three weeks, we will have another painful lab on SIENA...so it never ends.) Spent another hour after class discussing with classmates, trying to figure this thing out. I had headache after concentraing on math for that long and my head almost went exploding....wanted to chew rubber bands.... I went for the swing class to give myself some nice interlude. And it was fun. I learned a "free swing" this time and my body just swang and swang like a merry-go-round. A guy in the class put on a black sweatshirt and sweat pants, with white bands glued to them to resemble a skeleton. What topped it was a pair of bikini on that, with a tag saying "Nicole Richie", and of course, a blonde wig finished the ensemble. So ironic and creative! I was laughing from ear to ear.... So that was my second Halloween in LA...got back home and turned off all the lights to shun those kids away....doing endless homework and reading endless papers, without a treat.... 引用通告此日志的引用通告 URL 是： http://piggie1981.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!54FD783DD0F4B2B1!494.trak 引用此项的网络日志
