This is probably the most boring ‘something new’ on earth, but—I attended my school’s weekly cognitive science symposium. Actually, I attended twice.

And then this week a professor from the university of ontario came down to give a talk on world knowledge and on-line sentence processing.

I was really most excited about the last one, not just becasue I’m an incredible geek, but because I UNDERSTOOD THE WHOLE THING. That’s the first time I’ve ever sat through an hour long cognitive science research symposium and not gotten lost once. I’ve changed my mind – that is definitely worth noting as ‘something new’ this month! :-)
