Today was my last day heading into the university this semester, for the final class of the Data Engineering course. Students are well into their final assessment projects, and it was a pretty easy tutorial, answering questions and giving advice to a few teams of students. They’ll be submitting their projects on Friday and then next week I’ll be stuck into marking them. Then no more university until the third year Image Processing course begins at the end of July.
They are having graduation ceremonies at the university – in fact they have been for the past few weeks. I walk through the main building and they have a huge reception area with drinks and snacks for the graduates and their families, and about a dozen stalls set up for photography. And lots of people milling around – graduates in academic robes and hats, and their guests all dressed up in fine clothes. It’s actually a bit of an obstacle course to make my way through them to the lecture room.
The rest of the day was busy with online ethics classes, and making pizza for dinner after I got home from the university. it was a gloomy and chilly day, but the rain was really restricted to heavy overnight, and then returning this evening. There’s more coming in the next few days though.
Last night I finished watching the Netflix movie Cuckoo. It’s a German horror film and… is very German. Very weird, and I didn’t understand what was going on until 2/3 way through, and then there was no explanation or real resolution at the end. The core concept was kind of interesting, but frustrated by a lack of development.
