Quick as a cricket!

That's how I have to write this post. It's Tuesday, and my last exam is Thursday. It won't be a thing of beauty, but with luck (and successful studying through today and tomorrow) I should (might?) pass. Probably. Linear regression, PCA, reinforcement learning, inverse models, and Bayesian estimation theory. Fun stuff. But after that it will be the thesis full-time.

Summer's in full swing in Zurich. For a city that's supposed to average only 3 days a year above 85 degrees, we've been there (or close) for almost 3 weeks, with a few days above 90. Also, Switzerland doesn't believe in air conditioning. It does cool down at night though - often down to 70 or so. Aren't you glad you're caught up on Swiss weather now?

Beyond a couple hikes and a couple bike rides, I haven't been outside too much this summer, though the heat has driven us (and much of the city) to spend weekend days at the river and the lake, enjoying sun or shade or water however you see fit.

Rachel and Darin get here tomorrow morning, which is exciting, but for today, well, that studying isn't going to do itself! Happy August, folks.
