Scoil

Ar naoi mbliana is dhá scór d'aois, tá mé ag dul ar ais ar scoil. Tosóidh mé De Luain. Ní bheidh mé ag freastal ar ranganna ar bith. Ina áit sin, beidh mé ag déanamh taighde chun céim mháistir a fháil (agus ansin, céim dhochtúra, le cúnamh Dé). Ábhar mo chuid taighde ná "intleacht shaorga". Ba mhaith liom na fionnachtana is nua ó thaighde intinne a chur le "líonra néarach" agus le "clárú géiniteach".

Is mór an t-athrú é sin, agus tá mé ar tinneall ar fad ag smaoineamh fá dtaobh de!

At age 49, I'm going back to school. I start Monday. I won't be attending classes. Instead, I'll be doing research for a master's degree (and hopefully a PhD after that). The subject of my research is artificial intelligence. I want to apply some of the latest findings from brain research to neural networks and genetic programming.

It's a big change, and I am a nervous wreck!
