Georgia tech application - Describe a day in your life [4]
an exhausting but satisfying day
WROOF! "...noooo..." WROOF-WROOF!!! Its 4-AM, dark, cold, and sitting on my chest is an 80-pound furball demanding a walk. "FINE!". Longboard wheels grinding against the pavement, I chase him down neighborhood alleys; Kal-El's happiness makes every early morning feel special. Back home, I pour myself a bowl of cereal and groggily meander into the garage. I flick a switch: my half-built breadboard piano is ready for testing when...shoot! Loose cable, spilled cereal: catastrophe--the flood of electronic killing Captain-Crunch spreads across the desk. I lift the piano to save it when BOOM! A capacitor blows in my face! Not a good start. After cleaning, I work on my journals; I'm trying to explain the dot product visually, the goal is to get past the computation and into the real mathematics; the understanding. Time flies...scribbling away I catch a glimpse of my watch. "10-30?!?!" I stuff my electronic drumset into the car; I don't want to miss practice! Getting home, excited I turn on my desktop...yes! My neural-net classified the images! Just need to tweak it a little...The sun has finally gone down. Tennis shoes, headphones, and me and Kal-El sprint to the park, wishing we were in a forest. After dinner, I pull out my math-journal once more. I've thought about it all day, and after about an hour, I leap up with joy. I've done it; my explanation makes intuitive sense! Satisfied, I say goodnight to my family, and read some Hofstadter before collapsing, exhausted, into bed.
Thanks!
