Good news!

Good news! Haluk is out of the hospital and on the road to recovery. As a result of his accident and several others during 2009, Auburn is working to improve lighting along Magnolia Avenue where Haluk was hit. I was there Tuesday night and they have put up temporary spot lights to shine on the crosswalks until permanent lighting can be designed and installed. This morning the crosswalks had all been freshly painted with reflective white paint. There is an article in the Plainsman (college newspaper) about how critical the issue is to Auburn, both the university and the town. It is good to be in a town where necessary changes are made promptly.

All of my school commitments this week have been met. Economics homework, linear programming test, Genetic Algorithm computer programming homework and Power Point presentation of a scholarly journal paper have all been accomplished. I do not feel very good about any of the results. I've yet to re-learn how to study for recall and I'm still frustrated with the two steps forward and four+ steps backward in catching up to where I should be to take these classes. You'd think that would not be much of a problem since I have nothing else to do, but it is. This week I spent no less than 12-16 hours per day on all of this work and it wasn't enough. I suppose that by the end of the summer I'll be caught up, but, I'll also be finished!

Having a nice glass of wine before beginning the coding of my Evolutionary Algorithm computer program, due Thursday.
