Hej Everyone (Sorry, I had to!)! I am currently in Sweden to study abroad! I'll post pictures afterwards of all that happened, but I am learning a lot about their school system and, unfortunately, the MIT challenge needs to be put on hold as I try to integrate into their culture. I'll hopefully be able to find some time to do a few things. I found an AI workshop that looks really interesting and I'll post it here if I find it interesting and a good basis for AI without very much computer science experiment yet or if it's for more experienced people. The course is free, online, and is run by Microsoft. While I was studying music, there was a rule called the "rule of three," which basically says (from what I can tell) that you shouldn't have more than three instruments playing at once on a track because if you have more than this, the listener might get overwhelmed and not enjoy the piece. I'm taking this and applying it to how much I can learn at a time and things to focus on because I've always had a problem with wanting to focus on too many things at once and not being able to focus on really any of them. The main things I'm focusing on in Sweden are being more outgoing, though most Swedes are pretty reserved and not as loud as Americans from what I've seen so far (and from what I've been told), I hope to get closer to people my age and connect with some people on this trip. I'm also focusing on photography and trying to take more photos. I found a really cool place to take photos and am hoping to just wander around and just keep taking photos all throughout my trip. The third thing I'm focusing on is my research project and just school in general. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get into a schedule here and to be busy, but still have time to wander and have a good time. I'm going back home in May, which I'm excited for, but I'm also really excited for my time here and want to live in the moments that appear. Thank you all for reading and I'm going to be starting an email list (I think) that will look a bit like James Clear's as I try to develop my own style on it, but I do love his email lists and I'd definitely check his out as well. Hope you all have a fantabulous day, Alex :)
