Coding is so addicting

After I read that spectral clustering tutorial, my professor told me to write a matlab program that performs spectral clustering.  This is fun and funny because I don’t reeeeeaaaaally know how to program. 

But oh man, it’s hard to stop. It’s like the opposite of math.  In math I feel like I’m nowhere near understanding anything right up until I suddenly have a breakthrough.  Programming I constantly feel like I’m seconds away from a breakthrough, and then I look up and it’s four hours later, the code still doesn’t work, and my neck hurts.
