The Final Exam

Like Anime Amy I have only my Machine Learning exam remaining, and also like Amy I calculated that I need a 10.6% on it to get an A in the class. The brave amongst us would answer 1 question and then leave, but as a former TA I know that doing so would tempt the graders to take off just enough points on that question to ensure that I did not achieve my goal. This plus my less-than-stellar performance on the midterm (in which I answered one question "Boo!" and another by calculating the probability of me doing well in the class) will lead me to at least try all the problems. Especially since I spent much of yesterday studying.

But before then I get treated to a celebratory luncheon at Cunetto's House of Pasta and Yummy Cheese Bread courtesy of Ron. I am not the subject of the celebration, since I have not yet defended my thesis or graduated, but that won't stop me from eating way too much and falling asleep during my exam.
