I got so caught up doing a bit of research for my A* application, I seemed to forget to write a post last night…

There are a whole lot of articles, opinions, and tutorials regarding A* out there. That’s good, right? Well, not really. Half is poorly written, another quarter expects you to know too much, another twenty percent doesn’t have a working website anymore… But at least there is a good five percent that is filled with all kinds of good stuff. Once I actually get this program working, I’ll buy an A.I. book to supplement my notes. I would do it now, but I want to make sure that, not only can I do this stuff, but that I really like it. Right now, I think A.I. really interesting. Let’s see how that perception holds in a week.

In other news, it’s 2008 summer-internship-search-time. There are quite a few employers who haven’t listed many summer opportunities, but I thought I would start searching now since our career fair is in September. Being pro-active never hurts. I’ll be looking for some sort of programming position. I would be perfectly happy with anything as long as I am around the programming atmosphere. It would be incredibly nice to lock on a job somewhere in California, since that is where I will be moving to after college. We’ll see!

Philosophy is getting a whole lot better. I don’t hold such a grudge with it a… Hmm, maybe I should wait until the first exam.
