On a brighter note, this week has been a relatively good week for me. Of course, there are the usual homeworks and midterms to go through, but it's good that I'm taking them by stride and not letting them bother me too much. This week will be slightly busier in terms of work - 2 midterms which I have to do well in because I bombed the previous ones and more difficult homework (read: coding in math finance!! and I've forgotten most of the programming stuff I have learned). Ah well.
My advisor succintly summed up what computational finance is about: math, statistics, programming and finance. I haven't done much of the finance stuff yet and the BSCF program doesn't require much programming either (which is good in a sense), but you know, as much as I'm struggling with programming or griping about a few of the courses being too math sometimes, I guess I really enjoy doing comp finance after all. That aside, course registration is this week and I haven't quite made up my mind over which psych course to take!
I saw Dennis Quaid on Friday after class while they were filming! Too bad I didn't have a camera with me. I tried taking pictures with my phone, but they came out very small and blur ( I couldn't zoom!). Talking about films, I watched a silly comedy, John Tucker Must Die, which was so stupidly funny it made me laugh a lot, and LA Confidential, which was probably one of the darkest films I have ever seen. There was nothing scary in the horror shows kind of way, but the music playing in the background was pretty scary and suspenseful. And watching the movie gave me a nightmare last night about violence! Ugh.
