I don't really have a formal beginning point for this blog, but I do have a purpose. Having started a graduate program in artificial intelligence this fall, I wanted to document a little more diligently my thoughts and process of learning, both about this subject and in general.
My background is in psychology and art--I have a degree in both, with the art being mostly in animation, but touching the base of a lot of fine arts. I've done a lot of traveling and meeting new people and learning new things, through studying abroad and honors programs and branching out beyond my midwestern USA roots. What I haven't done is gotten a habit of writing about these experiences (or at least not in any consolidated way), and I've found myself getting frustrated with how easily thoughts slip away and memories fade.
But this blog isn't going to be about personal experiences so much as academic ones. There are plenty of platforms to scrapbook the pieces of life together, and I'm looking for something a bit more introspective. I'm expecting a portion of posts to be about my own perspective on the process of learning various subjects, and I'm expecting another fraction to be more formal reflections on the subjects themselves.
It's still early, though. We'll see where things take us.
