It's pretty nice living on fifty cent crackers every other day. :P

I dug deep within my purse to find seventy cents. Not enough for Gardetto's, more than enough for peanut butter crackers. Yay (:

Today, it's really cold outside. I wish it would stay like this, or at least, actually be like this all the time for winter. You know, I'm gonna be nineteen soon, that fact means nothing to me. It only means one less year I have to accomplish all the things I've been thinking in my mind. I guess I'll type here what I wrote in EECE...

In Boolean Algebra, x^2 = x.

"Who am I?"

I am a girl. A girl with romnatic dreams of accomplishing nonsensical things. My pen is slowly dying, so I don't know how much you'll learn about me.

What are my dreams? To be a writer, a dreamer, a photographer; someone successful, someone whose name might appear in a scientific journal, even better, Discover. I'd like to win a Nobel prize. Who is the youngest to have won a Nobel prize?

I'd like it to be me.

But I have a feeling Delong or Neal or Scott will win Nobels before myself.

Think about it: some fleeting thought you had. You mentioned it to someone who smiled at your thoughts, and in that moment, they reveled in your dream.

Maybe you'll take that dream and write your dissertation on it (senior thesis).

"On AIs and Dreams."

AIs are meant to replicate the processes of humans. Intellectual as well as personal. Fact and fiction. Reality...and dreams?

a robot, capable of dreaming. In a dormant state (sleeping) the robots thought mechanisms...i don't know.

To make a robot who is capable of dreaming...wouldn't that be great? I'll make the robot a simple cube, possibly voice activated, with the ability to answer yes or no questions. Is a robot a type of computer? (or the other way around?)

Perhaps the robot needs to be self aware.


perhaps built in wheels, for limited, but possible mobility.
how would you make a robot with the capability to dream?
maybe upload a dictionary, in binary, along with basic grammar rules. allow the robot to generate sentences at random, to best replicate the sensation of dreaming. dreams don't make any sense, therefore, could this actually work?

-And that's as far as I got. this isn't something I'm seriously considering, this is just my mind wandering as my professor is explaining something about Alexander Graham Bell. who made the first computer? and a proof table we have to fill out for Friday.

also my SCI 101 class is going to be advising us, we're going to get our advising done before the actual advising period. THEN. because i'm in honors i get priority scheduling along with jocks and whatnot. (or maybe even before them) so i am guaranteed the classes i want to take. i guess i have my schedule narrowed to six, i still don't know how many classes i should take next semester, but i have a list of the classes i'd like to take. we'll see....
