Cognitive Science
A few weeks ago I wrote a little entry for a class that explains my undergraduate major, Cognitive Science, in a little more detail than I normally have time (or eloquence) to explain it in. It's up on my class wiki, which means that I no longer have the right to say that I own it, but I will claim that I wrote the first pass. For all of you who ever wondered what exactly Cognitive Science is, I give to you this essay, which, at least (hopefully), will describe the parties invested in the field in clear, concise terms.
Cognitive Science by the Informatics 590 Course of Fall 2005

Remember when I wrote about the beautiful sound of all those birds tweeting? Well, those tweeters have been reminding me of the downside. 2 days in a row I've come to my car only to find that birds have pooed all over it. What's up with that? Come on birds, don't make me take back the nice things I said about you.

This is me, Josh, as of yesterday afternoon. I must add that this is not how I normally look. Well, from the nose up, I have no excuses ;-), but everything below is just a mess. My cheeks are huge HuGe HUGE! I've been applying ice as necessary, and it helps with the swelling, but I still feel like a chubby chubby chipmunk. (It has struck me that this is, in fact, what I might look like if I were 20-30 pounds overweight...which I'll be keeping in mind.)
Now I have to refocus my emphasis back on my schooling...this break has been longer than I was expecting. I needed to be doing so much more work...but that's just not possible when the pain medication forced me to sleep for 6 hours in the middle of the day! This week is going to be absolute hell because of catch up...but at least it will end with a trip to Portland, Oregon for CHI 2005, which will be a blast for sure.
I think the rest of this semester will go by really fast, but when I think of all the stuff I'll have to do before then, I cringe. There is so much on my mind I could pop, but I have to get to work, maybe I'll update again tonight after getting my bearings straight...for now, enjoy the picture :-)
